We are very close to AI being able to generate something that looks exactly like the video above. We are already there with single images. Soon, it will be impossible to prove anything without physical being there and seeing it.
The age of "pics or it didn't happen" has actually been really bad for human trust and discourse, and while it's good we're moving out of that era, I'm not as keen on the era we may be moving into.
Point is, these protests will be easily created, and thus easily dismissed "because it could easily be a deepfake". The era of "prove your assertions with pictographic evidence or I will not believe or trust you, a fellow human" as the baseline approach to assertions has fundamentally broken the idea of trust between individuals. We are now re-entering a world where you can't be expected to prove everything you saw, except now with the concept of trust shattered and laying upon the floor.
Sounds like a good time to exploit some populaces, if you ask me
Possibly, but that is a MASSIVE leap from what it can do currently. From what I've seen they can deepfake faces reasonably well but can spot problems with motion and with the best results having a simple background, OR NVIDIA can create hyperrealistic scenes, but with no people (the people LOOK CGI).
It's also somewhat restrictive because not everyone has the setup with 5-10 high end video cards, and TB's of RAM (like what's needed for many high level training computers).
Online claims will likely always have a degree of distrust. If someone goes around their town lying, and it's not a massive city, they become the local crazy who makes shit up. Nobody will listen to them. If someone lies online and gets found out, they can just make a new account and keep going.
I don't think the higher ups (the real ones) care about protests, even of this size.
They would if these numbers organized into an army.
Because that's what that is. An army, waiting to be taken charge of.
Naw, Not until a fertilizer truck accident or accidental drone strike occurs at WEF.
They sit comfy watching from hundreds of miles away, just waiting for it to die down. Then business like usual.
If it carries on for longer then they like, the unmarked goonsquad comes in and cleans it up.
"Longer than they like" is one hour.

The majority of humans live in cities, through.
Yeah there needs to be fire or nooone cares
