President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

All joking aside how long before we start running into AI generated fakes that are so numerous, so realistic and so easy to produce that almost everything you see could be legitimately questioned? And I don't mean just tiktoks or tweets but even at the government and courtroom level. Video evidence being the ultimate proof is headed toward being unreliable and we're practically back to he said/she said.
They have some tech that can be embedded in the media and it's supposed to make it harder. But with all the people currently falling for such terrible efforts I'm not sure it matters

especially with the way people consume any media now, MSM, podcast, twitter, whatever.

they consume it, get outraged, then forget about it with the next thing. by the time the truth comes out, its irrelevant. no one cares about the truth, they care about the outrage they can push for political gains. and there is always outrage to push if you aren't held to the truth.

the only way it gets better is by holding your side accountable.
 
very very soon. its already been argued in the realm of politics. The "cheap fakes" were exactly that.

both sides are always going to be able to question it. its going to be the same with voice recordings. they can already use AI to perfectly match anyone.
There was a voice related thing fairly recently. I think somebody tried to frame a teacher or coach or something with a faked recording.

It's going to get hairy out there.
 
And when we don’t see the indictments forthcoming?

Narrator: We won’t.

ND40: Yes I know you prefaced with if true
Possibly that there was never any whistleblower and they don’t want people mad at them for not crossing every name off the revenge list so they floated this rumor to a sympathetic voice with low scruples and a big audience of angry people so they can point to it whenever people start asking why they haven’t indicted [insert villain here].

The FBI should be able to track employees destroying evidence, if they want to.
You would hope.

The perpetrator would have to perform anti-forensics, which at the end of the day always leaves a trace if they are ingesting server logs to some sort of SIEM.

The thing that troubles me is the claim that these are "standalone" servers, which indicates that they are not connected to the network, which means that they are not ingesting logs off of the server. As such, someone could wipe (read, overwrite hard drives with non-data) data and delete logs. a-la Hillary's email servers.

(With a well crafted Linux/Unix command, you can actually do that overwrite at a per-file, or per-directory level with no specialty software at all.)

The problem compounds if they are using shared root accounts/passwords, which is against best practices, but has been mind-numbingly common in federal systems that I've seen. If that is all the case, one would need to hope that the 'standalone' servers are in a secure location with video surveillance, and the video servers do not suffer the same theoretical issues.

Good a guess as any. Call my naive but I’d guess the rank and file agent army at the FBI still believes in the mission and knowing a little about how each piece of data is cataloged and tracked I’d guess there is a snowballs chance in hell this could be accomplished without leaving a trace after data is indoctrinated into the tracking system.
