I'm watching myself on YouTube saying things I would never say. This is the deepfake menace we must confront Yanis Varoufakis

I'm watching myself on YouTube saying things I would never say. These inventions trigger rage, but also optimism. I t was my blue shirt, a present from my sister-in-law, that gave it all away. It made me think of Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, the lowly bureaucrat in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novella The Double, a disconcerting study of the fragmented self within a vast, impersonal feudal system. It all started with a message from an esteemed colleague congratulating me on a video talk on some geopolitical theme.
