I know people like this - what's the solution? Do you just cut them loose and make them figure it out?

In many ways this open source tooling is making them money. Developers tend to use what they know and are comfortable with, if you have to move off of C# say in order to write servers with better Linux compatibility or mobile apps you'

It's actually not too bad - you have to essentially line up the pixels on the camera's sensor with the pixels on the display, it's a challenge and might involve some careful choices of camera, display, focal length, distance,

If you keep something private, don't publish it or claim it's real, etc, what's the difference between making a deepfake of something and having a fantasy in your head?

I tend to agree with you that we're past this point and market economies offer bountiful opportunities to perform minor tweaks with major outcomes and improved efficiency, if you're more left leaning that may mean systems like bas

Okay, let's assume that's remotely possible. Injecting such a watermark at the camera doesn't help you - in fact, such a watermark you're describing is attempting to be resistant to things like re-transcoding so it might

What's the relevant application here? If you're suggesting this could be added by video editing software or display hardware, it seems if everyone knew about such watermarking it'd be trivial to strip out and turn into noise,

What about training an adversarial neural net to make faked videos pass that neural net? See the problem?

That's actually an excellent point, even if such technology worked perfectly it wouldn't solve simple problems like that. Seeing footage literally taped by a phone off a NVR display is pretty common...

That has nothing to do with the comment you responded to: Can you explain what you mean as the distinction between "content creators" and "some arbitrary video online" if the same technology is used to "authenticate

In what world is content creators needing to prove the footage they took is "real" a problem? Considering most content creators also do post editing I don't think that has any relationship at all to what's being discusse

Not quite as you can't necessarily clone the keys from an existing camera without some difficulty, however you can say, replace those sensors with your own inputs fed using a cheap microcontroller you wrote the firmware for. There&#x27

I was under the impression that the whole point of such a system was you could trust any video from any (non-cracked) camera. If we're at the point of trusting videos only from select providers, well, that's not really much of an

We're talking about faked videos here though, often of things where the quality is already quite questionable. If it shows something that looks 480p good enough and gets the green checkmark it's game over for this concept of video

You could try but it'd still be possible to just fake it at the sensor level, essentially so the IC would see your video as the analog signal coming in and encode it as if it were any other image. It's basically the "analog h

It'd be too easy to fake, just replace the sensor in an approved camera with your own data feed. And that's assuming it wouldn't be somewhat trivial to dump keys from one or more cameras on the market to create a an easy tool

Wonder what they mean by "facilitate"? Were certain mail order places offering apps they're banning? directly taking payments? Or are they seriously going after stuff like Weedmaps that just offers references to places that s

Unless you have untrusted users with SSH you can get away with a lot. I've reviewed many major Linux patches for the past several years and found we weren't actually impacted by most of them. For example, I don't need Zombiel
