TECH - Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey Thinks Deepfakes Are Taking Us Toward A Simulated Future: Elon Musk Asks 'How Do We Know We Aren't Already There' | Benzinga
Twitter co-founder and Block Inc. (NYSE:SQ) CEO, Jack Dorsey, has warned about a future where distinguishing between reality and fabrication will become increasingly challenging due to the proliferation of deepfakes.
What Happened: On Sunday, Dorsey made these remarks at the Festival of the Sun, an event curated by producer Rick Rubin. While addressing the audience, he cautioned that the influx of counterfeit content in the next five to 10 years will make it feel like living in a simulation.
“Don’t trust, verify. So even this talk, everything I’ve said, don’t trust me. You have to experience it yourself and you have to learn yourself,” he advised, stressing the need for a shift in mindset towards verifying things through personal experience and intuition.
