MIT Memory Manipulation: Not Your Grandma’s Deep-Fake Scam
Pat Pataranutaporn from MIT Media Lab wants you to know it’s not all TikTok deep-fake wizardry—memory manipulation is apparently a whole different beast. While the internet is busy fooling Grandma with videos of Nicolas Cage starring in new films, Pataranutaporn reminds us that hacking your brain’s filing cabinet is ‘very different.’ Unfortunately, the article never mentions if MIT’s new approach includes ‘forgetting where you left your keys’ or just messing with election memories. In short, they’re playing 4D chess while the rest of us debate if that cat really said ‘no.’
