We need camera hardware to be able to sign photos
- carlosjobim 8mo agoThen I can take a photo of an AI generated image.
- Octoth0rpe 8mo agoThat might impose enough effort to stop most slop from being spammed everywhere.
- whywhywhywhy 8mo agoCould offer a service that automates it with a DSLR pointing at a screen laundering images one after another.
- kombookcha 8mo agoThis would probably still be way better than the status quo, because it would introduce a higher barrier for entry and more friction into the slop delivery system and give the moderation and spam detection a chance to catch up. Much easier to detect and delete 5000 laundered slop images than 500.000.

- m4rtink 8mo agoSeems like something that would be miss-used against people in horrible ways.
- Octoth0rpe 8mo agoI think it might be enough to be able to verify that a photo was taken by a particular manufacturer's camera, not necessarily a specific camera/owner.
- lode 8mo agoTIL this exists... C2PA can digitally sign the complete lifecycle of an image, starting from capture on the camera: https://petapixel.com/2026/02/21/a-look-at-an-image-verification-process-for-olympics-photos/ https://petapixel.com/2026/02/21/a-look-at-an-image-verifica...
