I hate to get really pedantic here, but the concept of "truth claims" plays fast and loose with concept of knowledge in a philosophical sense. The idea of "fact checks" misunderstand how information and knowledge work to

If I were creating a verification system, I'd include a Timestamp, camera used, and UUID. If I were selling products to news teams, I'd likely include fields that the firm wanted included like name of company, and if applicable, g

Right, my point is that this should default to "untrustworthy." The idea is that a camera would at the very least include a timestamp and camera type in the signature. That signature should usually be reproducible when being fil

Yes, you're correct about private keys getting exposed, but it's better than nothing. I suspect though, even after key exposure there may be a way to make new private keys so that compromised keys have a known point when they are

I don't think it needs do be raw output. I'm pretty sure that signatures can exist within image and sound outputs that are reproducible when changing to other formats.

Right, but my point is that a video of a screen should be less believable than the source video insofar as verifying legitimacy.

I think that "impossible to detect" is not something realistic if camera manufacturers are willing to start adding encryption signatures to their cameras outputs and are willing to vouch for them. I realize this would still allow

The road, water, sewer, and various other public services that make your house valuable are not free. I would familiarize yourself with your city’s municipal budget before complaining about paying taxes. You’re likely being subsidized by ur

All these articles make no sense to me even though I agree with them... Why write this? If there is a theory that, right now, there is an economic advantage for folks working with AI rather than using it instead of workers, then why not fra

What “thermal gradient”??? Climate change exists within a greenhouse. We are raising the ambient temperature. Even if you could do something like that at scale (ha!), I’d love to know where your continuous cold sink comes from in an enclose

Technology has always existed. The people that lived in nature had no idea how it worked. To them, a plow was technology and I’m sure there were people complaining about it. We only understand nature now because of technology. I’ll take scr
