The Pentagon Wants to Use AI to Create Deepfake Internet Users
October 17th, 2024Via: The Intercept:
The United States’ secretive Special Operations Command is looking for companies to help create deepfake internet users so convincing that neither humans nor computers will be able to detect they are fake, according to a procurement document reviewed by The Intercept.
The plan, mentioned in a new 76-page wish list by the Department of Defense’s Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, outlines advanced technologies desired for country’s most elite, clandestine military efforts. “Special Operations Forces (SOF) are interested in technologies that can generate convincing online personas for use on social media platforms, social networking sites, and other online content,” the entry reads.
The document specifies that JSOC wants the ability to create online user profiles that “appear to be a unique individual that is recognizable as human but does not exist in the real world,” with each featuring “multiple expressions” and “Government Identification quality photos.”
In addition to still images of faked people, the document notes that “the solution should include facial & background imagery, facial & background video, and audio layers,” and JSOC hopes to be able to generate “selfie video” from these fabricated humans. These videos will feature more than fake people: Each deepfake selfie will come with a matching faked background, “to create a virtual environment undetectable by social media algorithms.”
Where’s the explanation of why these are needed, what purpose justifies the doubtless multi-million expense?

“If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.”
Isn’t that what the Dems are doing, with Kamala and Walz talking like fools, mocking their official positions and duties? Some of us are offended, others just laugh at them. But that’s just us. Their puppets don’t care how they act.
‘Fool’ is a more apt word than I thought. Miriam Webster: fool = clown, sucker, psychopath, to deceive. We’re supposed to be the suckers; they’re the psychopaths acting like clowns to deceive us.
They think they can psy-op all of us, no one can remain his natural, normal thinking self? I think that they think it doesn’t matter how alert and aware we are, so long as their police state apparatus can maintain its physical control over us. That was the point made at Tienamen Square.
