We??
‘We’ hoeven helemaal geen meerderheid te krijgen. Dit stupide kabinet is aan een stupide experiment begonnen en hoe eerder dat implodeert hoe beter.
Ook na dag 1 van de Beschouwingen blijft de vraag: hoe krijgen we een meerderheid? https://nos.nl/l/2631314

Following a blockbuster IPO earlier this month,
Elon Musk’s SpaceX experienced a rude awakening.
The rocket company’s shares have now been sliding for four consecutive days,
wiping out nearly all the gains the public offering had initially made.
Now the broader stock market is experiencing a similar and intensifying sell-off.
S&P 500 futures slid 1.6 percent on Tuesday,
while Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 2.8 percent, on track to wipe out over $1 trillio…

Tech Stocks Are Abruptly Collapsing

Abstract: Deepfake news refers to AI-generated (or AI ma-nipulated) multimedia content intentionally generated to deceive audiences by manipulating the facial expressions, or speech while maintaining the realistic appearance. The rapid progress of generative AI has made the synthesis of highly realistic fake videos and cloned voices widely accessible, posing a serious threat to the authenticity of digital news media. This paper presents a multi-modal framework that discerns the authenticity of video content by jointly exploiting audio and visual cues, thereby addressing the challenge of detecting the deepfake videos. We proposed a framework that involves features extraction from lip movements, audio content and video frames. Lip movements and speech content are encoded using the LipNet and DeepSpeech2 models, while facial features are extracted by leveraging the use of BlazeFace and represented with ResNet18. The extracted feature vectors are concatenated into a holistic video representation and classified with an ensemble of machine learning and deep learning models, including Random Forest (RF), Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. Exten-sive experiments performed on the FakeAVCeleb dataset shows that the proposed approach attains an accuracy of 94% using augmented audio features, outperforming a state-of-the-art multi-modal ensemble baseline. The results confirm the robustness and practical potential of the proposed framework for deepfake news detection.
