## What Jamie wrote

Gruber on the rapid development and improvement of fake voice technology. The examples in [this Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/BEASTMODE/status/1637613704312242176) are incredible. **The audio is spot on for Steve Jobs.** There is even one where Jobs voice answers in Spanish. 

> Real recordings will be called fake and fake recordings will be leaked as purportedly real. I don’t think the general population is prepared for this, and I worry that news media organizations aren’t either.

I’m not sure how we are going to adapt to a world where AI can generate written text, audio, or video of anyone that has a sufficient library of content online that sounds and looks exactly like them. 

We need digital signatures fast! I’m already considering how I can embed a signature into the Weekly Thing to assert that I wrote the content, and it wasn't generated by a bot.
