What’d be more productive would be enforcing a reformed model.

• Algorithm promoted content is considered published.
• You can’t promote content from unverified accounts.
• Unverified users can still post to friends and family.
• Maximum of 250 followers unless you verify.
• Friends and family can be grouped up so you can precisely control who sees what.
• You can only repost an original post, so if your friend wrote it or made it, you’re good, but if they shared it from someone else, then you’re gonna have to rewrite it or rememe it to post it yourself.

I actually don’t think a fully artificial human like mind will ever be built outside of novelty purely because we ventured down the path of binary computing.

Great for mass calculation but horrible for the kinds of complex pattern recognitions that the human mind excels at.

The singularity point isn’t going to be the matrix or skynet or AM, it’s going to be the first quantum device successfully implanted and integrated into a human mind as a high speed calculation sidegrade “Third Hemisphere.”

Someone capable of seamlessly balancing between human pattern recognition abilities and emotional intelligence while also capable of performing near instant multiplication of matrices of 100 entries of length in 15 dimensions.

As in our profits and minimized losses.

Hey don’t blame us, blame the nepos who got on the board without even needing to study for it!

My MBA track actively rewards me for thinking like a socialist XD.

I’m just praying people will fucking quit it with the worries that we’re about to get SKYNET or HAL when binary computing would inherently be incapable of recreating the fast pattern recognition required to replicate or outpace human intelligence.

Moore’s law is about similar computing power, which is a measure of hardware performance, not of the software you can run on it.

Problem is that a lot of that remaining third live in countries where the state will actively try to destroy the air craft to keep their people insulated from the wider global internet

You could very easily build the system to perform the age check without logging it to the user’s ID since the check only needs to be performed once to create an account and just block anyone without one from seeing any of the content.

Estonia has digital ID based services and they aren’t China. In fact China despises them because they’ve made the cutting edge in digital public services without having to compromise citizen privacy, which makes China look even worse for going out of their way to invade citizen privacy when it isn’t even necessary to offer the same safety measures and services.

So how exactly do they stop the infiltrators from defecting once they’re inside the company in another country that is visibly less awful than NK?

Normally I’d be suspicious of these kinds of megastructure projects but Vegas is the city that figured out how to get damn close to net zero water use from the Colorado so I’m willing to start off with the benefit of the doubt for the city leaders that ok’d this.

I am shocked! Shocked that the Germans aren’t running that shit on bureaucratic paperwork filing instead.

Nah just get the work certed, it’d be available for anyone, it just needs to pass the “No AI was used at all” test, and that can be done by giving creative software tools the ability to sign files whenever AI or screen shotting tools get used in their making

I think the approach of providing software tools the ability to grant the cert if no AI tools are used will be the way to really spread the practice, can even work with them to create a cert mode that just doesn’t even present those tools to the user in the first place.

The next step would be getting publishing sites to use the cert or signature as a check that either blocks the upload or more leniently get a visual marker that indicates it was not made with generator tools.

Plus checking for the cert also eliminates the crisis of teachers having to outsmart GPT to avoid their students cheating on takehome essays.

I’ve said before, what’s needed here is an independent org or maybe even multiple that can provide certification that pieces of media were created without the use of generative tech, and then open up companies that publish anything missing the cert to lawsuits from the public.

Verify then trust publishing would go a long way to contain misinformation in general, not just deep faking and other generated content.

Eh, whackamole enforcement usually cuts mustard with this kind of stuff.

Like yeah someone’s gonna do it anyways just because, but then all it takes is enough people raising an alarm to bring it down, and as a side effect, remove more shitass developers from the market.

You end up with an equilibrium where not every example is getting the hammers of justice, but enough examples are that the average consumer still feels the benefit of a noticeably less toxic internet.

Have those warning labels been shown to work like at all? We already have awareness saturation about just how awful cigarettes are for you.

I mean stanger things have happened in political history, every amendment to the US constitution that expanded the right to vote was passed by a country of leaders elected before those expanded rights went into effect, meaning the wider voting pool would inherently risk negatively impacting them even insofar as having to spend the time and energy campaigning to the newly enfranchised.

Taking for granted that the rich and powerful can never be made to accept changes wich negatively impact their wealth and power is a dangerous game of giving in to the most advantageous form of cynicism to the rich and powerful, the kind where you stop expecting anything of them and stop pushing for accountability when they fail those expectations.

I mean that’s easily fixed by just shuffling teachers within commuting range and also only doing the shuffle every 4 years or so for kids to maintain consistency while reaching the stages of development.

Of course there could also be a higher payed tier that can get shuffled further afield for those fresh faced youngin teachers that haven’t settled down yet.

Maybe initially but over time forcing the kids to spread out is going to break down those more entrenched dynastic networks, because those kids might just decide to settle down where they end up, meaning their connection to the network is effectively severed unless they eventually decide to go back.

Honestly this just makes me think that schools and universities should be shuffling their staff and teachers to keep one or the other school from becoming “the good one” that becomes a magnet for nepo babies and tomorrow’s burnout cases.

That level of direct competition is just gonna lead to people who are NOT able to work cooperatively or really trust anyone.

Plus breaking up the nepo clubs is important for keeping the social ladder at a reasonable angle to climb, college should be everyone’s chance to make important connections, not just for the Ivy League alums’ kids while everyone else gets told it’s about getting the piece of paper and having lots of free pizza while you’re doing it.

Honestly the most surprising part of that headline is that apparently the Netherlands has a spy service? Just doesn’t seem like something such a generally unhated country would find a need for.

For me the funniest moment of this whole saga was when the AI bros were claiming that they weren’t stealing anyone’s art, but then flipped shit when a FOSS tool released that let people reformat their art pieces specifically so that it’d be harmful to AI art generators that copied them.
