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.

That presumes the other side is worthy of arguing with.

We don’t reason with rabid dogs. We put them down.

You see this trick you’re trying where you say actually very true things but sarcastically doesn’t actually make them less true, you just look more like a douche canoe.

Nope, transphobes do as a matter of fact need punching in the face just as much as the actual goddamned Nazis they align themselves with for the sake of hating trans people for existing.

Just because a Nazi is a woman doesn’t mean she deserves to hang any less.

FARTs deserve to live in fear, because their backwards “I failed bio 101” beliefs impose that fear on innocent random folks every day.

ISTG if the tories stay relevant because the fucking FARTs need to be taught their place that’ll just be the crowning fuck up to this stretch of the UK managing to screw up not letting the tories have nice things.

Not all of them, just this one that the FARTs keep trying to insist is a women’s issue when it’s really only an issue for shitbags who were put on this earth to be examples of what the dunning krueger effect looks like when applied to biology.

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.
