#991 - Eddie Bravo

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Four, three, two, one. Okay, so, I'm on my way over here, and I'm listening to this new Radio Lab podcast, and they're talking about this new technology that's available, and I'm like, this is the perfect thing to be listening to right when I'm coming to hang out with Eddie Bravo. There's a website called futureoffakenews.com where they show this new technology on display. Well, you know how Adobe does Photoshop, and so they can adjust images?

They can take 20 to 40 minutes. They can do it with 20, they prefer to do it with 40 40 minutes of recorded audio of you talking. Then they run it through this machine, and they can have you say words you've never said. They can have you make sounds that you've never made in those sentences.

So you can have a sentence that says, like, hey Joe, you wanna get something to eat after the podcast. And they can intersect, hey Joe, I got a bunch of transgender hookers and some heroin. You wanna get something to eat and go hang out with them after the podcast. And it would sound exactly like what you said. It'll sound exactly like your own words.

Eddie Bravo (1:09)

But I'm sure there's gonna be experts that can analyze it and go, this is a fraud.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

For now. What they're essentially saying is, this is the infancy of it.

Eddie Bravo (1:16)

You have to get experts to analyze the audio.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

You can see it right there.

They synthesized Barack Obama's audio, and they have him say things that he never said. They have him and George Bush going back and forth, telling jokes to each other that they never told.

Eddie Bravo (1:30)

Dude, can we hear this?

Joe Rogan (1:32)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jamie (1:33)

Right now?

Joe Rogan (1:33)

Can we?

Jamie (1:35)

The thing you're talking about?

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Yeah.

Jamie (1:36)

I gotta find that.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

Okay, see if you can find that. It might be on their website.

It doesn't sound good when they're doing that, but it's in its infancy. But it sounds like them talking. It just sounds a little edited. It's not flowing together right. But apparently they're able to break down faces to the point where they were saying that like if Jennifer Aniston goes to China and she does a commercial for something, what they can do is have Jennifer Aniston talk for a period of time, and they figure out how her voice moves, and they take all these images of her face, and they can manipulate it so accurately. They can have someone speak in Mandarin Chinese with all the different sounds they make, and they could sync up her lips and her movement and the movement of her face to what it would look like if she was making those actual sounds, which is just amazing. So then they can have a voice, like a Mandarin-speaking woman who could speak in Chinese, and you would see the exact correct movements from Jennifer Aniston's mouth. So it wouldn't like, you know how you watch like a American movie?

Right. But yeah, you said it. Well, let's hear it. Let's hear it.

SPEAKER_4 (2:43)

Because our parties have moved further and further apart, and it's harder and harder to find common ground. So, you know, when I said in 2004 that there were no red states or blue states, they're the United States of America, I was wrong.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

So you could tell by the lips in that one.

Eddie Bravo (3:04)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

If you looked at his lips, it looked funky.

Eddie Bravo (3:06)

It's not that good.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

But that's just now.

Like, what's it gonna be like in a year? What's it gonna be like in five years? And this is what they're saying is that what we're looking at now is the future of fake news. They're going to be able to recreate people saying things that they never said, and it's gonna be impossible for you to tell the difference.

Eddie Bravo (3:25)

So how can that be used for the Illuminati?

Joe Rogan (3:29)

Well, how could it be used for anybody? That's the problem.

Can you see the good in it?

Eddie Bravo (3:33)

Is there good in it? Do you see, oh, now we can do this?

Joe Rogan (3:36)

I don't know.

It's hard to say what would be good, because you never know what the end result of anything is gonna be. When someone creates some sort of a mind-bending world, changing technology like that.

Eddie Bravo (3:46)

It only could be for bad, because it's a lie. It's basically gonna be a lie.
