    Let’s not do anything about the unregulated technology that can spread lies faster than ever before as websites get absolutely flooded with believable bots that outnumber the actual users. Let’s make secret passwords and handshakes like we’re in a clubhouse.

    Regardless, it’s not a bad idea since it’s probably not gonna get better for awhile if at all.

      The technology is out. While something should be done on that side of things, it also doesn’t remove the technology from existence - you will still need other protections.

      Regulations virtually always lag years behind technology, don’t they? In the interim period with absolutely no regulations, we must take it upon ourselves to protect ourselves and loved ones from being exploited.

      Given just how wealthy the AI bubble is making some people, we may not see any common sense regulation for quite some time. Best to adapt to that reality imo. Gonna tell my friends and family to call me by my hacker alias, “X360N0_sc0peX” on the phone or I’ll assume they’re a bot.

        vigilance

        Vigilance is like, not drinking the water that comes out of a nuclear reactor.

        What we’re talking about here is letting everyone run their own reactor and dump the waste into the street.

        You don’t gain vigilance, you lose all habitable public space.

          It’s a bit late for that. This particular nuclear reactor is open source, free to download and runs on consumer hardware. Can’t really unfry that egg and the quality is getting better all the time. Identity fraud is already illegal in most places so not sure exactly what regulation would be appropriate here.

      Websites have been full of shit, bots or not, since forever. Nothing new here.
