#AI is the way of the future. I have no doubt of this.

#LessGovernment is always to be desired. Of this I also have no doubt.

AI driven video generation of #DeepFake content is a real concern to me. The solution is not more regulation. Criminals (including State actors) would find a way around any laws that were passed anyway.

So that leaves the question:

How do we set up a system to vet video content to prove authenticity?

Some kind of unalterable digital stamp tied to the #blockchain?

Some kind of reputation score for the content creator/poster? (this could be easily bribed/coerced into falsifying)

I don't know what to believe is #authentic anymore. Maybe this has been true for a while now and it is just becoming more obvious. This is a discussion that needs an answer. Without verifiably authentic reporting we are at the mercy of those with the skills and equipment to falsify the "News"

Nothing to do about IMO, this has been the case for a while now, being able to fake news or any kind of media, and with AI and rendering technologies further improving and getting more distributed the barrier of entry will be even lower and the quality higher.

Like you said, reputation and multiple reputable sources on the same event will be a way into certainty, but we know any given source viral enough will spread further and fastest than the fact checking, so the only ultimate solution (again, IMO) is critical thinking at the individual level.

Control on the models and how public and private companies employ AI can go along way, but like you said regulation is not the solution especially when it is so clearly unenforceable.

Blockchain wise, perhaps, there is indeed a way of preserving truth by distributing it enough that history is accurately preserved as it happened, and not as the victor or the richest wants, although I wonder how would that apply, if at all, to the ever accelerating news cycle and fake content.

I'm grateful for Bitcoin as an alternative into sanity in the long term though, otherwise this Fiat distopia would get hopeless really quick. It's still going be wild and get weirder and weirder the better we are at simulating reality without the constraints of the real world.
