Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests

The obvious limitation being that you can take a real photo with attestation with a real camera of a real computer screen displaying any fake shit you can imagine, then you have an officially hashed photo of anything.
If you've ever tried this, the moire pattern of pixels is obvious. You'd need a much higher resolution display than image sensor.

I don't think this is that controversial. If you take out NFTs, it's using the block chain as a hash. I think that works, but at that point you might as well use regular hashes to verify the integrity of your video

Generated by what authority, though?

There is a solution, but y'all aren't going to like it.
The solution is blockchain. Actually, it's even worse, the solution is NFT's.
Not the scammy, crypto bro, nonsense it has been used for; but the actual technology.
A cryptographically secure digital token that can track where something was made, where it's being used, who has the rights to it, and ensures that it's authentic and not some copy made with AI.
Unfortunately, thanks to crypto bros, the technology has become so tainted by scams that most people get upset just hearing the letters NFT, so adoption isn't likely.
Sorry for blowing this on you, but fuck blockchain, fuck NFTs.
What we need is better understanding of cryptography.
PGP has solved this problems decades ago, and crypto has just borrowed some parts, but made it worse in every possible way and into incomprehensible depths.
Again, fuck crypto, fuck NFTs.
I should make a guide on how to use GPG.

Just fucking sign it. With your private key.
And publish your public key.
Then everyone will be able to verify it's your work, and no deepfake will ever pass that test.

I thought GPG was bad? I don't have enough personal experience with it to quickly summarize or opine on the merits of either of these two articles, but:
The PGP Problem: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem
What To Use Instead of PGP: https://soatok.blog/2024/11/15/what-to-use-instead-of-pgp/
I do agree with "fuck NFTs" though, and mostly agree with "fuck cryptocurrency" (mostly because porn and drugs are in my view legitimate use cases for at least a hypothetical non-environmentally-destructive cryptocurrency).

It's not good.
But it's leagues better than crypto.
I hate typing 'asymmetric key cryptography', and GPG is just three letters.
Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don't see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.
And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.
If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.

Yeah, I don't know why this is so difficult. Can even have players that autoread the signature to tell you the source/etc.

The tech would have been great for bestowing ownership over the digital goods bought with microtransactions, but never would have gotten there since corpos have the rule of law under their thumb.

You can have whatever token you want with all the metadata, licensing and ownership information you want...
...unless you plan on only seeing images in your own platform, nobody gives a shit, people will take screenshots and image files and share and use them however they want. There's no world in which you load a full DRM plugin or do 4 different types of handshake with a full blockchain just to load a jpeg into a comment.
