Yes and no; there is a tipping point, past which hardware/software vendors will be forced to adopt countermeasures and new ways to verify identity.
We will lose a lot though; the most prosperous societies really rely on high levels of interpersonal trust (which allows people to easily do things together, whether that's leaving their buggy outside when they go to buy a coffee or commercial relations). It would be a shame to see that get destroyed.
- red-iron-pine 1y agowhy would countermeasures destroy trust? if everyone's phone had an actual keyword and key and other details wouldn't that increase trust? I get a call and there is a green checkmark saying "GPG VEIFIED" and then I know it's who I expect.
- sealeck 1y ago> why would countermeasures destroy trust The countermeasures won't destroy trust - it's the fact that you can't just pick up the phone and work out if you're speaking to a real human. Or trust that posts on an internet forum are from real people, and not just planted by bad actors using generative AI.
