I (@PerryCarpenter) got to share my perspective on deepfakes and synthetic media in The Hill's opinion column today. In it, I discuss how synthetic media is challenging society's understanding of reality: https://t.co/rgwVIAq8x4

"The Analog Loophole: When Low-Tech Tricks Trump High-Tech Security" - FAIK

In FAIK, I explore a fascinating paradox of our AI-driven world: Sometimes you can defeat the most high tech systems using the stupidest low tech methods. This is the "analog loophole."

Here's the mindset: "When they go high-tech, we go low-tech." 😉
🕳️ Analog loopholes in action:
📸 Teens outsmarting Snapchat's screenshot alert with a second phone
🎭 Basic disguises fooling sophisticated facial recognition
📱 Evading digital surveillance by embracing "dumb" devices
🗣️ "Algospeak" (coded language) slipping past AI content moderators

These low-tech workarounds expose critical blind spots in our digital defenses.

As I say in the book: "Remember: the best efforts of tech developers can often be thwarted by the stupidest of methods."

🤔 Questions to ponder: 🤔
👉 How can AI systems account for these analog tricks?
👉 What "old school" skills might become valuable in our high-tech future?
👉 Are we overlooking simple solutions in our rush to AI-ify everything?

Have you ever used an "analog loophole" to outsmart a digital system? Share your story!

Remember: Sometimes, to think outside the box, you need to step away from the screen. 📦➡️🌳

Those that I loved at first and then hated, those by authors that I usually love, but that were disappointing, those that I was surprised to like and so on, you get the picture. So, here is my 2023 mixed-bag #podcastlist, in no particular order. https://t.co/SbSKVmjesc

Heads-up! My latest episode of 8th Layer Insights celebrates the 1yr birthday of #ChatGPT. We look at #AI from technological, philosophical, and folkloric perspectives.

Fun clip and experiment from our most recent "After the Episode" discussion where we have a quick chat with #ChatGPT4. In short, the audio interface for the #ChatGPT mobile app is crazy realistic.
