Your idea only works for tiny networks and doesn’t scale. Enjoy your completely unfiltered social network. It’s not my problem if you can’t see any benefit whatsoever to any kind of trust filtering.

It’s too bad there’s no way at all to know if any media whatsoever is plausibly real, say such as by a cryptographic web of trust. Even though similar mechanisms are used to secure services such as domain name resolution clearly nothing sim

What is the concern? Looking at the law (in Oregon) “Total calories must be posted in a conspicuous place in a font size no smaller than the price, or the least prominent font size of the description of the item. A statement listing the dai

I used to really love getting each new floppy when they were released and it was a big deal at our amiga club. My own contribution made it onto disk 14 for a 4d to 2d tesseract renderer but a second submission was pulled for violating a cop

We see one of these essays a day at this point. I do think authors need to at least critique why they think technical solutions can’t help. We did migrate from http to https for example. And we do use a (top down) cryptographic scheme for D

Is the problem you’re seeing about fake content or fake people? Or both? Does it have low value for to you to know that I myself am say 3 friend hops away from you and have say a “likelihood of being human score” of 7/10? And it wouldn

Again the author doesn’t consider crypto solutions like pgp, keybase or any kind of signed social trust graph. Why do people keep writing this sky-is-falling thesis over and over without at least arguing for or against cryptography?

Yes the improving strength of GPT is magnifying the problem but is unrelated to the solution. The solution space steps outside of examining the content of the message for truth. The solution is to sign the messages using a social trust grap

There are going to be a few cases where keys are lost or stolen. It may be possible to build multi-sig wallets that allow for you to migrate an identity to a new key. What we're looking for is some kind of statistical means of trying t

This comment is bound to spark a lot of response - it hits sensitive issues that we 'the masses' may have some worries about. It speaks to a populist conspiracy fear - that there is a "them" that wants to get rid of &quo

It's nice to hear of a few other philosophers in this area aside from Peter Singer, the Effective Altruism community and trolley car problems. These moral scales philosophers employ do seem to rest on unquestioned axioms about the valu

It is gonna happen for sure. People will leverage powerful tools and claim it is their own voice. Me shrugs. I more want to at least have that individual emitter be accountable for what they post; to establish continuity. I want to know tha

Even with some defects or imperfections anything is better than what we have now - which is basically nothing. I think the way I'd think about this is to imagine say a small community, such as a town of say 5000 people or so. While you

Authors making this argument (which we see often now) really need to sketch out why cryptographic solutions will fail. The entire thesis rests on this erroneous sentence in the second point: “This can be done in two ways – just move to invi

This essay opens with comments about utility for the metaverse but then switches to a description of a grammar without strongly connecting back to why it is so valuable for programmers to learn a new language to better build the metaverse.

The minute fakes are a serious issue we will sign utterances. Exactly the same as DNS or anything actually important. Deepfakes will not be a threat or issue.

Humans more than any other life form seem to constantly be playing with social, economic and political self-organization. How energy is distributed and what is fair. We’re a highly social almost hive-like species that is constantly trying o

There are a lot of people around the world who cannot buy and sell from each other; either they are in different regulatory regimes, or they are completely unbanked. There's also a lot of concentration of wealth to publishing houses -
