A look at the state of deepfakes.
If you’re interested in a high-level overview of the state of deepfakes, I recommend checking out this blog post from Captions, a Capcut competitor and a software platform that enables creators to generate AI-generated videos from scratch.
What struck me the most is the company’s prediction that, “Very soon, most models will allow you to generate a person (real or synthetic) in any situation – without a duration constraint (longer than 12 seconds) and featuring multiple people in one shot.” Chat, are we cooked?
I’ll have Captions CEO Gaurav Misra on Decoder later this week to talk about this.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts a large, rust-colored spaceship hovering above a futuristic cityscape. The spaceship has a cylindrical shape with a rounded front and is equipped with various antennas and structures on its surface. It appears to be made of metal, with visible wear and tear, suggesting it has been in use for a long time. The city below is densely packed with tall, industrial-looking buildings, some of which have scaffolding, indicating ongoing construction or maintenance. The buildings have a metallic sheen and are interconnected by walkways and platforms. The sky is hazy, and the overall color palette is dominated by shades of brown, gray, and blue, giving the scene a gritty, industrial feel. Several small figures can be seen walking on the platforms, providing a sense of scale to the massive spaceship. The image conveys a sense of a bustling, advanced civilization with a focus on space travel and technology.
