“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
I know you didn‘t notice the gorilla either when you tried to count how often the ball was thrown in that clip. We could never really trust our eyes and that‘s okay.
Having grown up pre-Internet I’ve always just assumed everything on the Internet is fake. It looks like that was the way to go. People really need to adpot that line of thinking now. Treat everything as sus ;)
This will eventually settle into a new era of going back to times where people didn’t have cameras in their pockets.
People eventually will start believing only other people who have some reputation at stake. Like journalists and similar.
It won’t happen overnight. A lot of harm and bad will happen before we learn it.
I think it’s more likely that we’ll need some cryptographic verification at time of recording to be valid, or a physical medium like film to be present. So perhaps film cameras or discs (non rewritable) have a resurgence.
That can all be faked.
It’s a hard problem, but there is likely a way with cryptography and upload to server that would be verifiable. Honestly this may be the only legitimate use of blockchain.
It would require a centralized authority to work in any meaningful way.
Not really
You can publish public keys and sign the videos with private keys
It still doesn’t prove the video is not AI, just that it comes from a specific source, like a press camera
You can always retroactively sign. Or it would require secretive hardware managed by some centralized authority, and would be exploitable by at least nation state actors.
Not true. This is something I had researched in the early days. If you can store a crypto hash of the document on a Blockchain, you can upload said document anywhere you want for people to DL. The hashes will always match, and you can use the timestamp of the Blockchain entry as reference to veracity. This could be done via an open source project and should the maintainers fall off the map, some one can always fork.
I remember seeing this listed as something like “proof of existence”.
Was with family and wanted to find a clip on YouTube that demonstrated people being tricked by 3d chalk art. I couldn’t find a clip that was not AI slop (lots and lots of these) or just faked reactions. Won’t bother trying that again :D
