Rick Huckstep and Shaun Weston talk about potential uses of deepfake technology, including creating humour, recreating historical events and generating personal voices for digital assistants. Have you seen the Spanish reality TV show called ‘Deep Fake Love? Contestants are shown deepfake videos of their partners cheating on them, highlighting the ethical concerns and the difficulty of determining what’s real and what’s fake. They discuss the potential role of blockchain technology in verifying the authenticity of videos and the challenges associated with ensuring the originality and trustworthiness of content.

Also in the show, Meta Llama2 conversational AI, Barbie and Oppenheimer, Microsoft Teams virtual makeup, Sam Altman’s WorldCoin orb, Black Mirror, Hijack, The Crowded Room, and why Rick always gets the last word (especially concerning Ted Lasso).
