Free newsletter: The idea that we're nearing the creation of AI systems that we can't control and that pose an existential threat to humanity is a lie and a distraction from the tangible harms caused by LLMs and AI labs' near-unlimited resources.

@PlainviewLegacy Jag sÀger varken för eller emot om bistÄnd, men tycker man kan inkludera Norge i listan ocksÄ? NÀr jag frÄgade ChatGPT dök Àven Luxemburg upp.
VERIFIABLE VIDEO
We need verifiable video to prove that footage hasn't been faked with AI.
We can get there with cryptocameras. Suppose that when you take a video, you can optionally put its hash onchain for a small fee. This is like a digital notary public. It establishes that (a) the video existed at that timestamp and (b) you are the user who wrote that video file to the blockchain.
Of course, it would still possible to take a video, manipulate it with AI, and then put its hash onchain it while claiming itâs real. But it could be made quite difficult, on par with spoofing Appleâs GPS or harder.
Any major social network could build verifiable video into their software right now. You just take the camera app and add âverifiabiltyâ as another mode. Itâd be similar to slow-mo or time-lapse, but require a small fee to write a verifiable video onchain.
And any phone vendor could also put verifiable video into hardware if sufficient demand existed. They could probably make it very hard to fake by streaming the video hash live to the blockchain as it was recorded.
In fact, citizen journalists of the future might have to post verifiable videos, with an onchain checkmark next to them, or else people would consider them more likely to be fake.
So, thereâs a light at the end of the tunnel. AI makes everything easy to fake, but crypto makes it hard again.
PS: The use cases go way beyond media as well. If you generalize the concept of cryptocameras to cryptoinstruments, you could get verifiable chain of custody for every important piece of scientific data, like DNA sequencing data or temperature measurements. That could go a long way towards reducing academic fakery and dealing with the replication crisis.
Here's a fantastic showcase of the rapid evolution of video games through the 80s. Yesterday I posted this Dixons Xmas 1979 ad. Compare that to this from Xmas 1992. In a little more than a decade, we went from Pong to very sophisticated handhelds. Absolutely incredible, really!

@perfaitement@Caninen Och jag Àr verkligen upprörd över otrygghet och gÀngskjutningar men har aldrig hört av nÄgon kollega att de kÀnner sig otrygga.
Det betyder inte att det inte stÀmmer men jag kÀnner inte igen beskrivningen i tidningen efter nÀrmare 20 Är i Kista arbetsomrÄde.
@perfaitement@Caninen Om försöker lÀsa noggrant kan du se att jag nÀmnt vÀktare. VÀlkommen till Kista pÄ studiebesök sÄ fÄr du bilda dig din egen uppfattning istÀllet för att killgissa.
@perfaitement@Caninen Adresserats intern hur dÄ? Jobbar du pÄ Ericsson i Kista och har kÀnt otrygghet? IsÄfall fÄr du gÀrna berÀtta genom att kontakta mig pÄ MS Teams.
Ditt sista pÄstÄende Àr hittepÄ. Det var ej sÄ jag formulerade mig.
@Caninen Jag har jobbat i Kista sen 2004. Tycker det kÀnns ungefÀr lika. Men kanske misstar mig. En kollega blev rÄnad för mÄnga Är sen (5?) men gÀrningsmÀnnen Äkte fast och sen dess har jag inte hört nÄgot.
Ericsson hade vakter som Äkte omkring ett tag men vet ej om det fortfarande sker
