we will absolutely lose the ability to validate the trust chain on every piece of information available trough the network. it's too late to retrofit old documents with signatures and the ability of generating everything from artiact picture to fake research document complete with fake citations (generated in full, not only in titles) will make very hard in a hundred years (or less!) to understand history before we decide to implement (if ever) a global trust chain for information.
- Eumenes 4y agoagreed, a global trust chain for information seems like a pipe dream. between the publishers and wikipedia volunteers/admins, it seems like there's too many conflicting parties. i've been collecting rare/old books, its a pricey hobby, but they are often beautifully made and feels good to have something that can't be edited or revised.
