On reddit people are discussing the very quick cementing of this new truth, where everything can retroactively be waved off as having been AI.
People talk about the loss of certainty on everything ever since AI became a significant factor.
I disagree, it would be pandemonium if everything needs double checking and nothing is real. I think there is an obvious solution:
Make it into law that any official statement is assumed true unless it’s redacted by the subject within a set amount of time.
Make it so people have an appeal window to any news outlet, with heavy consequences for platforms that do not redact.
We cannot be living in psychosis bizzarroland, and if Bibi says he’s alive then take the countries word for it.
Let’s say someone claims with a video that Trump is dead and replaced by a clone. Why would we allow for people to believe in that kind of nonsense which is obviously meant to divide people and turn a lot of them into crazies. If the administration would claim it’s untrue, then that should be published as truth using no uncertain terms: article x was deepfakes
Anyone who claims differently afterwards is perpetuating lies and should be held accountable
An interesting theory and possible too. I’m a bit ignorant and I’m aware my skepticism is based on that gap knowledge, so here I ask: when did China implement these reforms? Was the Internet already widespread and part of everyone’s lives as it is today for most western countries? And with regards to radio, did we ever reach a point where everyone had access to radio for communication both ways 24/7, as is the case with internet today? What I’m trying to say is I don’t see a resource being reclaimed back, simply cut short just in time. Perhaps I’m too naive and hopeful but I don’t see the same happening as smoothly with internet today.
Oh, it’s just bitter musing. I don’t think there’s intent or anything, just people trying to make money.
I don’t think we had cheap enough electronics back in the day for it to be that widespread. However, before licensing (needed) you really could just build a radio and do whatever.
I’m not sure I followed what you meant with the bit about a resource being claimed back. Could you talk a bit more about that?
