They’re all too busy thinking “what if they could” and nobody stops to ask “what if they should”.
At long last
We have created the torment nexus from the book called Don’t create the torment nexus
I feel like we’d have to drastically expand the reliance on GPG signatures for a lot more than email…
Yeah, I’m surprised Google or another big player hasn’t released something yet, or that the people like the IETF haven’t had any RFCs or produced any practical standards. Now’s the time to get market dominance. Perhaps nobody will react until the shit hits the fan.
I mean, pgp is great, but in this day and age we need a simple standard people can use to sign media without a hassle and we may also need chain of custody in light of social media (edits and whatnot). Developers will likely need or want to build it into their software, so we need a standard. I don’t think the pgp approach really worked for most people.
I’m calling it now. In… 5 years AI will be so advanced and readily available that you won’t be able to tell a real person from an AI in the digital realm. The biggest problem with that is when it’s being used by bad actors. From scammers to presidential candidates to foreign governments. Scammers can already call your mom or dad, use AI to spoof your voice from even a sample of a recording (like a voicemail greeting), and fool them into giving them money. Anything other than in-person conversations can be fake. This can only have negative consequences.

And it never should be. It never should exist in the first place. Too many negative consequences
Good luck banning software though. The technology already exists, the cat’s out of the bag.
