‘You’re gonna find this creepy’: my AI-cloned voice was used by the far right. Could I stop it? | Georgina Findlay
It was chilling to hear ‘my voice’ repeating lies – and to discover that deepfake audio is a growing threat to democracy, says writer and presenter Georgina Findlay

This is not an intellectual point, bur I wanted to state that I am frightened by the situation in the US and I am becoming even more anxious by the extent to which most people I know IRL (ie: not politics addicts) are entirely unmoved

A fantastic read by @georginafindlay.bsky.social for @theguardian.com that transforms a particularly harrowing experience into a compelling warning about the escalating political and personal dangers posed by audio deepfakes.

This is a fantastic article discussing how the UK is *already* a 'multicultural' society - and how the term is too often used by politicians and the media to create divisions where there are none. ⬇️
I have a piece in today’s Guardian based on my book in which I argue for an expanded, more inclusive definition of multiculturalism as a way out of the culture wars

It's almost like they should have noticed this was happening and built an additional, modern, high-speed rail line connecting London and the North.
Weird that didn't happen, but probably not specifically anyone's fault.
