  Deepfake used to attack activist couple shows new disinformation frontier
  

  

  
  Oliver Taylor, a student at England's University of Birmingham, is a twenty-something with brown eyes, light stubble, and a slightly stiff smile.

  Online profiles describe him as a coffee lover and politics junkie who was raised in a traditional Jewish home. His half dozen freelance editorials and blog posts reveal an active interest in anti-Semitism and Jewish affairs, with bylines in the Jerusalem Post and the Times of Israel.

  The catch? Oliver Taylor seems to be an elaborate fiction.

  • Saw this earlier - it's not a 'deep fake' as the term is usually meant - more an ML-amalgamated 'human that does not exist'. Still escalatory thoNairn
