Bruce Willis sells rights to have deepfakes replace him in future films and ads - 2時間前  Mashable

Bruce Willis may have retired from acting, but he will live on in future films thanks to deepfake technology. According to The Telegraph, the actor has sold his rights for future films and advertising campaigns to Deepcake, a company that creates "digital twins" of famous folks for use in commercial projects.It's the same kind of tech used in the Star Wars franchise to recreate the younger versions of actors, including Mark Hamill, and to create digital versions of Carrie Fisher after her death. Just last week, James Earl Jones approved the AI recreation of his voice on future projects as he e...moreyes retirement. SEE ALSO: Scream time: 20 best horror movies on Netflix In March 67-year-old Willis was diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder stemming from brain damage that affects comprehension of written and spoken language and communication. By then, reports of his struggle to recall lines and cues had been circulating within the industry for some time. Engadget reports that Willis worked with Deepcake on a 2021 ad for Russian telecom company Megafon, in which his face was swapped on to that of actor Konstantin Solovyov. Engineers used scenes from Die Hard and Fifth Element to create a likeness of Willis that lives on the company's AI platform. Willis's estate will have final approval on any future projects. Deepfakes are a new and unregulated area of technology that's already being used nefariously by scammers to spread misinformation. They have also been used to produce pornography without the consent of the subject and overall present a whole host of ethical and safety implications for celebrities and normal folks alike.

19 killed in Iranian police station attack - 1時間前  RT

At least 32 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were injured Armed separatists killed 19 people, including several members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), at a police station in Zahedan in southeastern Iran on Friday, state media reported. At least 32 members of the IRGC were also injured in the attack, including members of the Basij volunteer forces. IRGC Colonel Hamidreza Hashimi, IRGC soldier Mohammad Amin Azarshokr, and Basij soldiers Mohamad Amin Arefi and Saeed Borhan Rigi were among those killed at the scene...more, according to IRNA news agency. Intelligence chief Seyyed Ali Mousavi was also reportedly shot during the attack, later dying of his wounds. The gunmen allegedly hid themselves among worshipers inside a mosque near the station before attacking, IRNA reported. Social media postings mention multiple police stations in Zahedan being seized by Baluchi “protesters” on Friday, though state media reports do not name the separatist group involved in the deadly assault.Tasnim news agency reported that Iranian security forces had thwarted another “terrorist” attack on a Zahedan police station on Friday. Read more European citizens arrested in Iran – authorities It was not clear if the attacks were connected to the ongoing protests in the country over the death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman accused of wearing her hijab improperly, in police custody. While police insisted Amini died of a heart attack, others claim she was beaten to death, and opposition groups within Iran have leveraged the resulting unrest to call for regime change. Amini’s Kurdish background has made her death a cause celebre for ethnic separatist movements, and Friday’s attack took place in Sistan and Baluchistan province, where ethnic Baluchi separatists have previously attacked Iranian security forces. At least 41 protesters and police have been killed since protests over Amini’s death began last month, according to Iranian state TV. Iran’s intelligence ministry has arrested nine foreigners connected to the protests, including French, German, Dutch, Italian, Swedish, and Polish citizens. The government has blamed “hostile foreign entities” for the unrest. US-backed media and influencers were among the first to claim Amini had been beaten, though CCTV footage from the police station where the beating allegedly occurred only shows the 22-year-old arguing with an officer and then walking away before falling to the floor. The US, which overthrew Iran’s secular democratically elected government in 1953, has openly sought regime change in Tehran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution....
