Michael Crichton, always prescient, saw deep fakes coming way back in 1992 in his novel Rising Sun.

Read it, but don't remember the deep fakes. It's been a long time though.

I think there is a space/niche for a site that only role is to confirm and produce facts. No opinions. No “takes”. Just facts.

If only we could get both sides to agree on what a fact is. ;)

Brilliantly structured article! Fun read. I would say sobering read, but at this stage everyone's eyes should already be open... But of course, how is that going to help : )...

Thanks Kevin!

Yes, the more you see the less you can believe.

You're not being paranoid at all, and underlying all this is the problem that our own brains routinely miss and misprocess events and memories, a la "The Invisible Gorilla."
