Deepfakes has democratized the creation of extremely realistic video faceswapping, especially in porn

@doctorow

all one needs to run it is a “good GPU [graphics processing unit, the kind that high-end 3D video games require]

So, it’s porn vs. Bitcoin:

Bitcoin's high valuation has ruined it as a medium of exchange

Yet another reason for me to be irritated by the whole cryptocurrency phenomenon. Until now, my primary reason has been that the miners are buying up all the GPUs, meaning 3d artists such as myself can’t buy a high-end video card to use for its actual purpose for a reasonable price because of bullshit speculation. A GTX-1080 (not even especially high-end) that cost around $1000 in 2014 now costs… around $1000. After FOUR YEARS.
