Episode Details

AI deepfakes are getting so good they’re nearly impossible to spot, and top expert Hany Farid is sounding the alarm — so good, he’s even left Silicon Valley. He’s frustrated by how tech giants prioritize profit over truth, creating fake videos of politicians and even family members that spread faster than they can be debunked. Farid admits he doesn’t trust much online anymore, even having a “safe word” with his wife for sensitive conversations. His concerns sparked a personal reckoning: I’m cutting back on my digital footprint, ditching Google’s AI summaries and switching to a tracker-blocking browser. It’s a small step, but in this increasingly blurred digital world, it feels essential — and maybe we all need our own digital “safe word” to survive the noise.
