tipping point?

It is now possible to alter reality and every kind of historical record—and perhaps irrevocably. The technology for creating fake audio, video, and text has improved enormously in just the last few months. We will soon reach—or may have already reached—a tipping point where it’s impossible to tell the difference between truth and deception.

We are already starting to see warning signs. But the worst is yet to come. And it’s coming quickly—the technology for fakery and deception gets better each month.

And the budget for truth and reality is tiny—compared to the trillions of dollars budgeted for fakery.

The collapse of reality is accelerating so quickly that even political and business leaders will soon start noticing—and (maybe, just maybe) start acting.
