@JamesMelville Because it's about creating a new financial system based on carbon credits, as the old system is coming to its end, the reset will be cloaked in environmental virtue signalling.
Energy transition is another name for financial transition.
It's for the greater good don't you know.
@ChrisBloemers@ronrule Nope, this is all about creating a new financial system centered around carbon credits and your social credit score, trees absorbing carbon can't be digitised and monitored in the same way a factory can.
@IDEASOFICE_FIRE Star wars is space opera, it's mythology wrapped in sci-fi that's why the original films connect with people so strongly. It's not about keeping within the sci-fi lore it's about not messing with the mythology. But why is mythology so important to humans?
@mrmarkmillar A scam most likely, I ran a Kickstarter recently and ran Facebook ads and as soon as I did I was inundated with emails/dm saying I had violated Facebook terms
@UltraTerm I agree, what I find interesting is the westerners even after experiencing it directly needed the validation of their machines to make it real for them.
There will be centralized C2PA manifest repositories controlled by corporations.
The way it's intended to work, is that images will be watermarked with a key that returns the C2PA manifest from a centralized repository (e.g. run by a corporation like @Disney, @Adobe, or @CNN).
That way, if the C2PA metadata is missing it can be restored, and if it's present in the image it can be verified by the server as authentic.
Noticing this part of the #C2PA system is like getting a look at the wizard behind the curtain pulling the levers.
At the end of the day, these "trusted" C2PA manifest repositories will dictate concensus reality.
If CNN's server says the image is real, it's real.
If the United Nations server says it's harmful misinformation, it's harmful misinformation.
Doesn't matter if your open source manifest repository says otherwise (has a different C2PA manifest), it's not trusted because it's not run by the government or a big corporation, therefore it's a fake news server run by t*rrorists who hate democracy.
As for C2PA being mandatory or not:
So far, we've only really been presented with scenarios in which C2PA becomes mandatory.
Scenario A: Copyright Law Enforcement 🩸🐭
Adobe (and the rest of the Copyright Alliance) want it to be illegal to use #ai models commercially that have been trained on copyrighted material (without a license).
They are asking the the US government to outlaw this, while also plainly stating that they have developed C2PA to track which ai model was used to generate images online.
C2PA (or a similar solution) would be necessary to begin trying to enforce something like this, and platforms would likely be mandated to implement such measures.
Notice that Adobe's current focus is convincing platforms and entire industries to voluntarily adopt C2PA because "it's the right thing to do."
There will be less push back against mandatory C2PA if it's already been voluntarily integrated into most services and workflows.
Scenario B: Information Censorship 💔💀
This is the originally stated purpose of C2PA: Control the flow of information that is considered by some authority to be "bad" or "false."
From the beginning the intent was to silence "misinformation" online, which obviously includes any information that's inconvenient to whomever currently holds the reigns of the system.
C2PA is being introduced against a backdrop of governments around the world clamoring to implement new laws that would force web platforms to diligently scrub "misinformation" from their servers.
Failing that, it's easy to see how many large platforms could voluntarily mandate C2PA, as censoring "misinformation" is something that many platforms engage in already.
It's also worth noting that the US military @DARPA attended a C2PA meeting last year and plainly stated that people who refuse to opt-in to C2PA could be regarded with suspicion and scrutinized as being potential "bad actors."
So even if it's not officially "mandatory" it has grave implications.
@dh7net@mo1ok I've always said that the best movies are books, and I work in film making monsters and props, nothing lives up to being lost in the world of a book.
Learned a new word today:
PATHOCRACY (n). - A system of government created by a small pathological minority that takes control over a society of normal people
