The article is fucking gay, doesn't even link to the video. Some redditard (/u/deepfakes) used TensorFlow and a bunch of other libraries to make some shitty fake nudes in video form. You gotta realize though, fantasy porn is always easier in image form. In video, artifacts are too hard to hide unless it's potato quality. Also faking voice and mannerisms is a whole other can of worms, this one only swaps faces so it's like watching a whore with a decent face mask on and non-existent acting.
Because Vice are cucks here's the goods (I'd post an image but >tor):
>Wonder jewess
>pretty bad, voice barely syncs up, gnarly artifacts on dick sucking (because surprise, no photo of gal gadot sucking dick), it's like nip porn with uglier women

He keeps putting these on SendVid (which Vice thought was "sendvids" lol), and they get taken down, I'm not sure why he doesn't use another site. The gfycat uploads that I found in plebbit comments have the sound removed... How hard can it be to upload a video in this day and age? I guess that's reddit for you. Anyway, generally the quality is very bad. Lots of artifacts, and the replacement is apparently done as a low-res rectangle, meaning there's a discontinuity around the forehead, neck and cheeks where you can see a sudden change from new face to original face. It also doesn't seem to get the hue/tone/lighting right. All the videos are very low quality, because it probably looks even worse on watchable bitrates. tl;dr: Just like the fake celeb nudes we've had for years, but a million times worse, AND he seems to have godawful taste.
The commenter on lobste.rs makes a nice point, though: When this becomes more advanced, it will take a gigantic shit on ubiquitous video surveillance thanks to the "but a hacker could have faked it!" defense.
Incidentally, can any of you shoot a lobste.rs invite to spacelevator@memeware.net?
