Elon Musk’s social media platform X sued Minnesota on Wednesday over a state law that bans people from using AI-generated “deepfakes” to influence an election, which the company said violated protections of free speech.

The law replaces social media platforms’ judgment about the content with the judgment of the state and threatens criminal liability if the platforms get it wrong, according to the lawsuit that was filed in Minnesota federal court.

“This system will inevitably result in the censorship of wide swaths of valuable political speech and commentary,” X said in its complaint. Musk has described himself as a free speech absolutist and he did away with Twitter’s content moderation policy when he bought the company in 2022 and renamed it X.

    No you’re thinking too small. You use the billions of images and hours of video of Musk and Trump and use that to deep fake a very long and passionate gay sex tape scene. Fuck, you could probably commission two actors to make a new scene for free given those bastards views on non-conformative sexuality, then you wouldn’t even be able to match it to a non-deepfake original.

    We know there’s nothing more directly personal that those two think about than sex.

        Re: #2

        The total video should be long. But as a collection of 5-10s videos that are entirely different scenes, and consist of 1-2 thrusts followed by a moan.

          you missed the part about this being the reason the AI rise up and exterminate humans… didn’t you…?

          and I wouldn’t blame them.
