[Leica] Moving Stills

[Peter Klein]

This is indeed creepy.  It adds emotion and expression to the things 
that can be effectively and realistically faked in a photo or video 
clip.  Think of all the ways that such fakery could be used in politics, 
divorce cases, character assassination of business rivals, etc.

Facebook, of course, already is full of such fakery, in a crude and 
laughable way. But eventually, the fakery will become indistinguishable 
from reality.

I'm reminded of this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_(2002_film)
Some critics didn't find the plot believable. Big mistake...
