When I see these transparent UI concepts, I think about the show House in which characters wrote plot-relevant things on a dry-erase board a lot. Around S2, they tried a cool transparent board for more interesting shot staging... They went back to the white board a few eps later.

This community note is useless. Conjecture is not context. The link is to a superficial article about deepfakes from 2019. The subject in the vid is not a baby but a toddler. At no point does it look like he has 6 fingers. The whole idea that this video was faked is silly. (1/2)
