Cryptographic trust (combinations of identity proofs, including passport, passwords, social and family networks of vouching, fingerprints, behavioral data, etc)

Cryptographic trust (combinations of identity proofs, including passport, passwords, social and family networks of vouching, fingerprints, behavioral data, etc) will be the only way to trust any digital information very soon. If it's not vouched for by someone with proof that they're a real person, it's fake.
- azinman2 4y agoThat’s not how human nature works. Show a video that fits cognitive bias, and the non-technical non-sophisticated people of the world will believe it. And that’s assuming it’s even technically feasible to solve, which it likely isn’t.

Basically all these models are informational nuclear weapons being created, blueprints and all, and with distributed implementations mean anyone can and will use them.
