Synthetic media

We'll preview samples for you to judge.

Synthetic media is moving from novelty to real-world influence incredibly fast.

Finally, there's a reported lab leak of pneumonic plague from a BSL-3 lab in Irkutsk, Siberia, where a researcher has already died.

Annie Jacobson joins us on that.

But here is the grim reality of dual-use technology.

As this immense computational power is unleashed across society, it is also being used to generate synthetic media.

Yes, the dark side.

And that synthetic reality is increasingly being weaponized against vulnerable UK consumers.

What he received in the mail was a cheap, mass-produced, printed picture on plywood shipped from China.

The AI allows scammers to scale sympathy baiting to an industrial level.

Now, I want you listening to contrast that malicious criminal use of synthetic media with what is happening simultaneously on the legitimate corporate side.

Right.

And thank you for listening and thank you for participating.

Don't forget, follow me on YouTube at Lionel Nation and on X at Lionel Media.

So my friends, I thank you so much.

We'll be back tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel, on another side of midnight.

Yeah, and keeping things consistent over time is always a challenge.

Also in generative media, NVIDIA is accelerating diffusion inference with their Tensor RT 11.0 and Dynamo Triton.

They're really pushing the infrastructure side of things.

This is all about making these large generative media models run faster and more efficiently, especially across multiple devices.

It feels like they're building the highways for the AI revolution.

And in a similar vein, the biological computing company and AWS are partnering to release the first neuron-derived generative video model.
