I feel like this will be the thing that finally forces digital signing into the public eye. "Wait, is that video real?" "Well, it was signed by a reputable news source."

Right, which leads to a place where nothing is trusted unless it came from some central authority or from some trusted piece of hardware. I'm not looking forward to the day when I have to use e.g. an Apple or Google piece of hardware or some locked down kiosk or "be famous" in order to conduct business.

The film industry has been pointing cameras at screens for decades. Trusted hardware won't work.

I assume trusted hardware would include things like LIDAR and biometrics, but if you're assuming those can be beaten then it will be a different kind of arms race, for sure.
