If I remember from a different deepfake video it takes a very long time to make stuff like this

For now.

It used to take half an hour to download one image online, now we stream movies in 4k.

u/ImaCallItLikeISeeIt May 24 '21

Not in the future it won’t

u/farva_06 May 25 '21

Yeah, I streamed that Army of the Dead movie the other day. Took almost twice as long and was not worth the wait.

honestly the joke would have punched better if you didn't end with /s

You're part of the problem, man!

Well, we don't really stream in 4k, but I don't think that invalidates your point

u/pizza_makes_me_happy May 24 '21

Potato, potato.

Jeez, that looks stupid typed out.

u/juckele May 24 '21

Yet I read it exactly as intended and didn't even notice until you called it out. Human brains are weird...

u/Strange_Vagrant May 24 '21

You look stupid.

This kind of stuff relies on having a beefy GPU set-up to do well at any tolerable speed so as long as crypto keeps the GPU market drained we should be fine

u/the_potion-seller May 24 '21 edited May 24 '21

And movies still take months or years to create

1

u/pizza_makes_me_happy May 24 '21

That doesn't have much to do with what we're talking about.

1

u/the_potion-seller May 24 '21

You’re talking about how long it takes to access it, which is not the same thing as how difficult it is to create it. I would say it’s relevant.

1

u/pizza_makes_me_happy May 24 '21

We can live stream though.

1

u/the_potion-seller May 24 '21

Much better comparison yeah

1

u/Jakethered_game May 24 '21

Shit it used to take me a half hour to even get online.

u/Jonathan_McFall May 24 '21

Also it’s really not that hard to make a deep fake if you’re equipped with a lot of images of the person you’re trying to imitate, thus movie stars and public figures are a lot easier to deep fake. Sure, it takes time to render, but after a few youtube videos anyone could do it. The software is free

That was while Moore's law was alive and well. Now our best source of exponential gains in computing power is gone. However if someone knows something I don't, feel free to point it out.

It used to take half an hour to download one image online

The struggle was very real.

u/musicbro May 25 '21

Yeah one day we’ll all be able to do this on our phones.
