Someone used an algorithm to paste the face of 'Wonder Woman' star Gal Gadot onto a porn video, and the implications are terrifying.
There's a video of Gal Gadot having sex with her stepbrother on the internet. But it's not really Gadot's body, and it's barely her own face. It's an approximation, face-swapped to look like she's performing in an existing incest-themed porn video.
[...] Like the Adobe tool that can make people say anything, and the Face2Face algorithm that can swap a recorded video with real-time face tracking, this new type of fake porn shows that we're on the verge of living in a world where it's trivially easy to fabricate believable videos of people doing and saying things they never did. Even having sex.
[...] The ease with which someone could do this is frightening. Aside from the technical challenge, all someone would need is enough images of your face, and many of us are already creating sprawling databases of our own faces: People around the world uploaded 24 billion selfies to Google Photos in 2015-2016.

I never go out in public without wearing dazzle makeup.

The stuff they used to paint battleships with [wikipedia.org] so you had a harder time telling how far away they were?
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

As long as your makup doesn't contain Glitter.
Recent Soylent article that Glitter is bad for the environment.
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.

Not all glitter is created equal. Use only mica and you're going to be all natural.
