tech developments usually START with porn! they used deep fakes for celebrity porn

This week's episode resonated with me because I've been in tech for almost 15 years, and this is the second time I've seen something take the industry by storm. I currently work with beginners and students aka the next generation of the tech industry. I'm seeing a lot of fear around what's to come and if their studies will be invalidated by AI. My short and complicated answer to this is a tentative "no".  We have opened Pandora's box and we can't close it. I personally think we will see a lot of changes in tech and law/legistlation. For any POC out here that sees this and has been considering a transition into tech, NOW is the time. We need you here. We must alter the narrtive that has been in the wrong hands for too long. AI is already being used to assess who gets jail time in some states...nuff said.  Shameless plug for anyone ready to get into tech, read my book to get started. https://a.co/d/aJZvB6Q

speaking of the Met Gala theres a new york based brand Vaquera NYC that created four anna wintour apporover AI looks. wveryone (including me) were completely shocked to find out their looks were not “real”

The sci-fi show "The Orville" showed the worst case scenario of what may happen if A1 creations become smart enough to want more than what was designed. They committed genocide of their creator's race. They didnt want to be enslaved anymore. S2: E8&9

Touching on the scary road Ai is going down, I think yall would really like a show called “The Capture” !! Its a U.K show about how a heavily survailed government uses deep fakes to alter the law for their benefit!

This week on #TheFriendZone, Assanté walks us through some TikTok and Twitter Street Hot Topics.
