replyHow would that be immune? It already has many copies of the same books and no way to tell which ones are erroneous or incomplete. A malicious actor could easily flood it with garbage.
If it is a torrent it is protected with hashes, but you have to get the hashes now
reply> The internet becomes an unnavigable swamp of weaponized nonsense for average humans.
replyturns out we didn't even need AI for that
There's a bit of that in Ameristan, in his "Fall" novel. This whole part of the book feels prophetic now.
replyIt's a recurring theme in Stephenson's books. "Fall" had a similar take on the same idea. It's one of his most impressive theories/predictions to me.
replyIt doesn't help when you have Anthropic destroying books so that no one else can use them. These are crimes against humanity as far as I'm concerned.
replyPerhaps there is a nonfinacial future for blockchain after all. Certified human provenance.
replyWhy blockchain? Any old public key signature scheme would do for that (and conversely, a blockchain doesn't solve the sockpuppet problem either).
reply“Git” again earning its name.
replyYou can’t certify human unless there is some sort of ID check. Even then a human could willfully pass off any AI work as their own.
replyWhy do you think Altman wanted to build world coin to have biometric capture
replySo he could sell the data? It’s almost certainly not because he cares so much about certifying human versus AI. Even then the biometric data is not going to be enough. Any human could still use the biometric data to pass AI work off as their own.
replyIndeed and the data is worth much much more if it is tied to a biometric.
replyAnd if you assume that in the future there will be crypto banks globally then you want to be that final authority layer between the real and the computer world
Yeah but my original comment was talking about being able to reliably mark something as AI generated or human generated. Crypto, encryption etc. whatever you throw at it it’s just not possible (other than media that can be watermarked at the generation source).
