I think the only way to guarantee a “personhood credential” is to demand a urine sample before issuance.

Kidding aside, I read these papers, and despite their good intentions, I see red flags everywhere. The next step is to convince a policymaker this is the way to go, and boom, you’ll need a license to access the internet.

Bottom line, I am trying to figure out what they are missing, and what we are seeing differently, if that is indeed the case.

Proof-of-humanity is overrated, IMO. There are just so many cases where it doesn’t matter.

The latest academic paper on “personhood credentials” - a purported solution to solve the problem of deep fakes, AI bots, authenticity, etc., on the internet.

My questions are: who gets to issue the personhood credentials? Why can you only have one? Who enforces this.

My take is that there is still not an appreciation of the root of the problem. Enabling self-generated npubs and signed events to begin with. Without that starting point, an eventual authoritarian intervention is unavoidable.

Curious if anyone else has takes on this paper?

“Real” is overrated. What matters is what an entity can DO, not whether it happens to be biological.

You either believe in absolute property rights under all circumstances or you dont. Theres no moral justifying postion that can allow you to infringe on anothers property rights.

Euphemisms are mental gymnastics used to justify legal force against another doing something you dont like or agree with. There can never be the proper way to justify the right amount of theft, used by the right peoples, at fhe right time, in just the right way that change this.

In a society where everyone is given the maximum amount of freedom you have to come to terms that there WILL BE people doing things you dont like or approve of. The crux here is are YOU going to bear the responsibility that you can not force them to do otherwise and should then Lean upon education and persuasion to convince the other party to not do what it is you feel so strongly about that you think a structure of violence should be placed in your stead in order to force your view upon the world. The real question you should be asking is this

What CAN i do that makes the certain behavior i so have a distain for as difficult to do or socially disapproved of that the problem sorts itself out. Dont talk about it, be about it. I know i can only control myself and only influence those around me, that is what i control

The problem with utilitarianism is that there’s no such thing as a “util”.

Oh no, a virus that is 95% spread by gay men having anal sex is a global emergency because some men in the Congo who are too poor to even own cars let alone fly anywhere have apparently seen more infections (despite zero evidence supporting this).

I don’t think they’re going to be able to pull off the #monkeypox psyop, only psychotic leftists will fall for it probably because they’re the vast majority of the anal sex having men any way. nostr:note1jnmwpcdyvsutzdyd4u5fs4wyfnwtpmcxfwem38z00je5yg0cgk9qdrn6fs

In the word “monkeypox”, the ‘k’ is silent.

The only form of intellectual property is a secret.

Once information is shared, it has returned to a state of nature, like pouring a glass of water into the ocean.

Instead of “Social Security”, they should have called it “Welfare Ponzi”.

At least then no one would mistake their Welfare Ponzi Number for a secret.

I’m still working bit by bit on my #Nostr relay implementation. In the middle of a big refactor to change the way information flows through the system.

My previous approach was based on EventEmitters, which are synchronous. The new system uses asynchronous, Promise-based handlers. This will allow plugins to perform asynchronous calls, such as to external databases.

It’s a big overhaul unfortunately, but it’ll make implementing future nips and features easier. 🤞

Paracord makes great zipper pulls

I bought this black corduroy JanSport backpack in the late 90’s for $15 dollars from the clearance bin of an outlet store. Have been using it since.

One of the zipper pulls broke off, replaced by key ring. Straps on bottom sewn on manually with upholstery thread around time of purchase. All other parts original. nostr:note1ale8f62s2vfv47jmmjzcs3zuxrcf7q4kawlf84asp68mnty88rwq6c7gp6
