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.
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.
Regulating it does nothing. Only rich people gets to have deepfakes? Nah, let it be public, so everyone can have some vigilance.
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.
Websites have been full of shit bots or not since forever. Nothing new here.

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.
