Adapting effectively and quickly is kind of our thing, also backed by millions of years of evolution.

- Clamchop 3y agoYou're being a little flip but adapting to one thing usually comes with compromising something else. Hanks is just an example of trusting a leader or authority. Whether you think he's a good fit for that is immaterial, everyone will be compromised. Asking for critical thinking is all well and good but just the _knowledge_ that it's easy to generate gobs of high-fidelity forgeries, all corroborating each other as falsified evidence, could have chilling consequences by eroding faith in institutions and promoting misinformation and conspiracy theorizing. You can adapt and still end up worse off than you were before there was anything to adapt to.

The client, my tv, or whatever, should make that obvious somehow. The industry certainly spends plenty of effort developing ways for content producers to trust clients. But I'm probably just another tech bro suggesting a technological solution to a social problem.
