The answer is bad but IMO obvious. Any remote interactions with other humans will require bulletproof authenticity verification. At a minimum something like the chip + PIN that exists for payment cards or government CACs. Countries like India would be ahead of the ball on this.
Any human communication that doesn't occur in-person will by necessity be treated as fake or hostile until proven otherwise.
- reducesuffering 3y agoBut the only part we need is the authenticity verification answer to "is this a human?" Yes, the human authenticated at some point. But fat chance we want any central organization doing it. Hate to say it, but if we can do distributed Proof of Work or Proof of State for crypto, then we need the same for auth.
- Nasrudith 3y agoNeither Proof of Work nor Proof of State would actually help. A human can always choose to operate based upon a script. All it shows is that a human signed off on it at some point. Removing privacy wouldn't help matters either. /At best/ you would get chilling effects combined with warmed over classism as the poorer are the most likely to be tempted into selling their certs and therefore "poor = shill".
