▰ CLONE WARS: “Your group should set up a password for situations where you need to confirm identities over the phone. Let’s say it’s ‘raspberry beret.’ If you get a call from a loved one in trouble, you can say, ‘Look, there are scams, and we talked about this — what’s the password?’ The password should be something familiar that’s easily remembered but not associated with you online. A family joke can be good. You don’t have to be strict about them getting it perfect—you’re not verifying their nuclear launch code authority.” —Glenn Fleishman shares advice for avoiding the trap of voice deepfakes.

We are living in a world where people seriously consider how to avoid having AI pretend to be someone you care about and trust. Wow.
