Modifying RGB videos with motion capture
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmajJTcpNk&app=desktop
Inserting 3D objects into photographs without access to scene or source
http://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/247346/way-cooler-than-photoshop-add-3d-objects-to-2d-photos/
Terrifying possibilities for misuse. In fact... Are there -any- legitimate uses
for this technology?
Well maybe for the second, but I can't think of anything good that can come of
the first.

Both would make for really interesting motion capture technologies for
computer games and film making.

Winston's Confession - 0:45 - Winston confesses to thoughtcrime. Just as with
the rest of the confessions, he is forced to confesses to crimes he never
actually committed.

For me, this is kinda like talking about weakening encryption.
Just because governments may want to mandate weak encryption for law
enforcement purposes completely forgets that there are people outside
their jurisdiction who will create such encryption programs, and those
programs will most certainly be used by the people they want to target
the most.
All you do is drive the technology further underground, or outside the
legal reach of those who wish to control it.
It ain't going to be stopped. Better to understand how it works and be
fully conversant in the technology than to be ignorant of it or to
pretend it doesn't exist.

I don't think courts take any video or photo evidence to be assumed
authentic anyway. Not unless you have additional evidence that it is.
It's already too easy to edit with photoshop or a video editor.

Avoiding having to pay for the expensive actor to come back in again
because they forgot to shoot something?

I had to check the date of that article to make sure it wasn't April
1st. But apparently not.

My initial thought was translations of films - if you record the facial
expressions of a voice actor performing a role in, say, Japanese, then
you could get T2 with the Terminator actually speaking Japanese, instead
of looking like it's poorly dubbed.

That's a great idea! Then add some audio processing so French Clint
Eastwood in "Two Mules for Sister Sara" isn't a freakin'
tenor/contra-alto. (Man, was that distracting.) (Just saw an interview
with Jennifer Lawrence who complained that her French dub is a soprano)

Actors get paid by the contract, not hourly. so this argument is invalid.
Crispin Glover sued the makers of BTTF 2 for profiting from his likeness without
compensation.
I admit that the dubbing thing is an idea that I didn't consider, but I don't
think that the benefits outweigh the risks.

You can't stop it from happening - just like I said with strong
encryption, if US tech companies don't do it, someone outside the US
will, and the bad guys will use it.
Better to be armed with what's possible.
