Nvidia streamed the keynote speech of its latest GPU Technology Conference yesterday—though unfortunately thousands of folks seem to have fallen for a deepfake Jensen Huang extolling the virtues of cryptocurrency instead. Just when you thought the dodgy reuploaders and react channels were bad enough, it turns out you've now got to worry about fully counterfeit event streams too.
For those that missed it, the official Nvidia GTC, originally streamed live from Washington, D.C. on October 28, can be viewed here. Though it's sitting pretty at nearly 200,000 views now, that wasn't the case during the stream; while about 20,000 tuned in for the official event as it went live, nearly 100,000 viewers were said to be watching the deepfake feed broadcast (hosted by a channel calling itself Nvidia Live) at the same time (via Tomshardware).
