The sunrise of digital media forgery, and the sunset of trust

2018 - 2020 are going to be years that will be seen in history as the dawn of an era when the only way you can trust what you are hearing / seeing someone say is to see it in-person.  It will be the sunest of the era when you can trust that what you are hearing from a person speaking who is captured and rebroadcast digitally is actually what they said.

This is because the application of machine learning and other artificial intelligence techniques is advancing into areas we (society) have historically taken for granted. Three things combined over the last several days to give me pause.
