You've Got to See This to Believe It; Then Don't

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/17/opinion/deep-fake-technology-democracy.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage






Buried in the NYT website page is a quiet little article about "Deep Fake Technology" (DFT) which I overlooked the first few times I scanned this site.


Now that I have seen it, I do not believe what I have seen.


Which is exactly the point:  We can no longer, in man's long history on earth, believe what we see with our own eyes or hear with our own ears.


The implication is we can only trust the news we can trust.
And who is that?
For me it's the NYT, the New Yorker and PBS.


But who knows?
