Congrats to @NickBaumann on the new WashPo gig! I can't say I fully grasp the difference, but the new title is way better. Here's hoping you have the resources to do great things.
Oh, so *that's* what it is -- congrats, Joel! I hope the fun-to-frustration ratio is many times better than it was in you last gig.

Candidates being taken out of context is a much different issue with a totally different set of "how to guard yourself" points. Again, the example here was just an illustration of an important point about how deepfakes can insert a small lie into legit content.
Wait, what? Did you read past the opening example? The story wasn't about *who* is doing deepfakes, it's about how to recognize them.

It’s no secret that Californians pay more than the rest of the country for many goods and services. What’s less well known, though, is that consumers may be paying higher prices than their *neighbors* pay. latimes.com/business/story/2…
