"Fans might well accept and even demand fake versions of their favorite personalities, artists, etc. — as long as they know it’s the real fake. Synthetic, but official. Because fans care about the relationship to the real thing, not necessarily the real thing. ..." Experimenting with cross-posting to Ghost, Threads, Medium, LinkedIn – this one regarding the ScarJoGate, rights of publicity, and alternate futures (inspired by the last Hard Fork). I never post to LinkedIn, so bear with me on your customs here . . . https://lnkd.in/ezBkYTJF
Hey GOB! I just happened to come across this fascinating Wired article about how the phenomenon you predict is starting to flood the political scene in India. Candidates for elected office are using GenAI to effectively “become” multi-lingual and have direct phone conversations with hundreds of thousands of voters. Worth a read! https://www.wired.com/story/indian-elections-ai-deepfakes/
Oh, I have lots of thoughts here and also, Hi GOB!
I'm gonna shamelessly post on your post that anyone interested in this should collaborate with Replica Studios which has the first/best deal with SAG-AFTRA for these express reasons. 😎 cc: Shreyas Nivas
Hey GOB! I think you’re 100% on point with “synthetic but official!” proxies. As you know , many non AI versions of that today. Lots of thoughts as well (hi Tatiana)…

3moGreat post Glenn. You have surpassed the ordinary LinkedIn customs because you have posted something that elicits additional thought and comment. Kudos. Your writing reminds me of an article Chris Sprigman published last summer about the legal concept of “aura” which, I think, is swimming in the same pool as your post. (Trying to make this Memorial Day themed). LinkedIn makes it hard to attach other posts, but I will do my best. Otherwise, I encourage you and others to seek it out. https://jolt.law.harvard.edu/assets/articlePDFs/v36/Bechtold-Sprigman-IP-and-the-Manufacture-of-Aura.pdf
