This is actually the most hilarious take
Zuckerburg changing FB to Meta & saying they're going to be concentrating on virtual reality is not good news. It could be a fast track to the worst things possible. Anyone will be able to create holograms of the prez talking, for instance, but you won't really know if it's her.

No it's not. What someone can do on their instagram page or with their pics now is nothing compared to what Zuckerburg is going to make available on a mass level. This will have huge impact. And it's not hilarious at all.

I'm sorry, that came off a bit mean. I think you are totally right to expect the worst from Zuckerberg because that guy is an actual villain. But I think your fear about mass manipulation through deepfakes is a little misguided. I don't think anything like that is possible.

I think you are right about this tech maybe having unforeseen consequences, its just hard to say what the real danger is though.
