Reddit user deepfakes announced lighter version of fake celebrity porn application.
BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Reddit use deepfakes, the mastermind behind the emerging fake celebrity porn thread, recently announced via a thread that he’s currently working on a portable version of his application. If successful, the app could be used to swap the face of any celebrity in a porn movie.
Machine Learning and Fake Celebrity Porn Go Hand in Hand
If you’re still wondering about fake celebrity porn, here’s what you’ll need to know. The trend emerged somewhere in 2017, December more than likely, and it basically involves swapping the face and expressions of a porn actor or actress with the one of a movie start.
The result of this outstanding feat of computer science is no doubt the infamous Gal Gadot movie. However, this is not the end of it. Deepfakes, the Reddit user who claims to be behind this trend, recently announced that he’s about to take his underground operation to a whole new level.
What’s even more baffling is that the user has an army of 15,000 Reddit account owners ready to help him. In his Reddit post, deepfakes declared that he took a lot of courses in computer programming in order to piece together the face-swapping algorithm capable of making these jewels.
Moreover, it would seem that this algorithm is powered by a very powerful AI which means that the whole fake celebrity porn trend is more sophisticated than previously thought.
And now, deepfakes said that his or her project would be taken to a whole new level. Seeing that people took a lot of interest in the project, the user decided that it would be a great asset to develop a portable and lighter version of this app, one that could be run from any smartphone or computer hooked up to the Internet.

The internet’s greatest power is that people always underestimate us. This technology has far ranging implications outside of porn. Dead actors returning to the Silver Screen, far more advanced than anything Hollywood’s CGI can create (looking at you Rouge One). Political riots as World Leaders are deepfaked. Video evidence dismissable in major court cases.
The game has changed. Ill be looking forward to watching how it all plays out.
