- progbits 5mo agoYes that's absolute shit thing to do. It's also on completely different OSI layer. I don't see the difference between your comment and a statement like "I don't like email so let's stop using TCP".
- goldenarm 5mo agoYes WEI operated between layer 5 and 7. But the day your bank and insurance implement WEI, it'll going to be too late to switch to another protocol. Your existence will depend on it.
- 9dev 5mo agoHonestly, I think at some point we will need something similar to WEI to ensure we’re interacting with other humans in a hostile AI internet.
- shimman 5mo agoBefore we ever come to this point I hope as a society we take a real swing as dismantling big tech. So much potential is being hoarded by literal dragons of progress.
- account42 5mo agoJust like CAPTCHAs, WEI won't actually prove that you are a human, just that you are using an approved setup.
