I..... is this satire? I'm kind of hung up on the possibility of someone naming their kid "Young Thug".

Around 2020...
And now...
Seriously, I hear Patriots trying to get Brady to play one more game for them so he may retire as a Patriot.

He doesn't even need to play. He could sign a 1-day deal and retire, but I think the blood between them is too sour for either side to give a shit.
It was the owner of the Patriots who floated the idea of Brady signing on for one day, probably just so he could say "The greatest QB of all time retired a Patriot, and that makes us the greatest team of all time".
It's really, really pathetic if you think about it.
It happens all the time, players retiring under the banner of the teams they built their brands around. It's not pathetic; it's players "coming home" to the teams that made them.
A few years back there was a website you could type into what you like and have it read back in JP's voice. Now there's a whole video!?!? We are so hosed. Even further back was the Sean Connery/Wesley Snipes 1993 movie based upon Michael Crichton's 1992 novel "Rising Sun" in which people could be framed in deep fake videos (it wasn't called that back then) for crimes they didn't do, including murder. Imagine what politicians will be able to do with this kind of tech. Show them doing heroic things that didn't happen, or their opponents doing horrible things of which they are innocent. ITMT, that was a pretty terrific video.
My wife has been praying for this. And longing to see "80 for Brady". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18079362/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Forgot, even further back, also Crichton, 1981's "Looker" with Susan Dey. They do a full body scan of her and can use her image in whatever they want. Make her image a fake political candidate if they choose. And now it is here.Too late, Pandora's box has been opened.

Pretty sure back in the day they made sound machines illegal in UK for this reason (puts musicians out of work). I doubt that is still the law. We've come too far.
Your wife is a Patriots/Brady fan? You're officially in an abusive relationship. Blink twice if you need me to send help; you don't have to live in fear anymore.
But seriously, I want to see 80 for Brady myself; looks like a fun movie and I love all of the actresses. I actually bought tickets for the first day, but winter weather made our streets here in North Texas a death trap (or at least a liability trap,) so I refunded the tickets; might try again this weekend.
Not so fun fact, of the four women around which these true events are based, only two are still living, and NONE of them have ever even met Tom Brady. I'm sorry, Tom, but that should have been the FIRST thing you did before involving yourself in this film. And don't act like you haven't had the time; I've seen pictures of you with the actresses portraying these women and promoting the film, the least you could do is meet the women who inspired and lived it.

Didn't this happen in King/Bachman's "Running Man" in 1982 ?
Book might be different. @36 min or so, we see edited cuts: Arnie flying a chopper, which really likely is his character, but then edited so that you then see people getting killed by him allegedly opening fire on civilians. I mention "Looker" in this thread too. You raise a great point: even before deep fakes they could edit video to make it look like you did stuff you did not do.
Ever since Clint Eastwood in Line of Fire and Forest Gump, I'm thinking we may see a movie with a young Bogart, John Wayne, Clint and Moe from the 3 Stooges as comic relief, in a new Sci Fi film and their estates may not see a dime.
They had to deepfake Joe Rogan saying those things?Too late, Pandora's box has been opened.

Footage was taken from the King Kong remake as well. I don't know if that was true in universe as well, though.
But yeah, on one hand this is scary, on the other, people don't need deepfakes to be deceived. Lots of anti-vaxxers or people claiming 9/11 was an inside job, or that Iraq had WMDs or was behind 9/11.
And...apparently they were considering casting LotR with Nicolas Cage as Aragorn and Sean Connery as Gandalf. With the magic of deepfakes we can see what that would have been like.
Apparently, someone bottled some sand from the "exact spot" on a beach where Tom Brady recorded his recent retirement announcement video, and is auctioning it off. Last I heard, the bid is up to $100,000. What. The. Fuck??? Between wars, devastating weather, earthquakes, mass shootings, political infighting, now this bullshit? I'm convinced this is the End of Days. C'mon, Antichrist; let's wrap this shit up already; humanity is done here.
Money, fool, latter is soon parted from former, etc. I mean, don't you remember when someone auctioned off a piece of toast with "an image of the risen Christ" burned on it?
