For niche things, you kinds have to go to reddit.

I mean the worst of reddit is on mainstream topics like politics anyways. You’re less likely to see toxicity in like a gaming subreddit. (Less likely than politics anyways)

It doesn’t prevent every falsification. It makes it much harder.

Say the incident is a car crash. And assuming dash cams also get this blockchain feature. The car crash already happened and you cant fake a video afterwards that make it look like the other person hit you first. And if you try to preemptively fake a video, you cant know every possible roads, roadsigns, nearby cars, or what vehicle the other person is driving, basically you cant predict everything that was on the scene before the incident occurs.

Imagine if you hit a truck at 5 PM heading west on Road 27 and on the intersection on Road 52. You’d have to know beforehand the road that the incident will occur on, the position of the sun (its 5PM and you’re heading west, remember), the road signs, how wide the road is and how many lanes, the fact that the other vehicle is a truck, what the truck looks like, etc.

I mean you have to create so many fake vehicle collision videos then when an incident happens, you’d have to hope one of the ones you faked matches the situation, then quickily find the video and send it to the blockchain.

Not to mention, the other person could have a dashcam video without any discrepencies. And any slight discrepency on your faked video would make court believe the other recording more than yours.

I mean its not impossible fake something. But its hard to do it before something happens.

Lol I though you wanted to throw your body like on the curb where they pick up the trash lol

Bruh why are you trying to terrify those poor sanitation workers?

Oh I have random throughts all the time. I read an article about the US sending SEALs to kill a designated terrorist leader and they gave him a burial according to his culture, so I just though that was very interesting. Like I expected military people to just burn or mutilate the body.

The “Blockchain” technology is gonna become crucial in the future of AI and Deepfakes.

Since videos, and especially still images can be faked. They would be treated just like witness testimonies, evidence that can be falsified.

What I think will happen is that people would have to use live internet connection to verify a video.

So what happens is that whenever a video is recorded, there will be a “blockchain verify” feature in the camera settings, when enabled either the video feed or the hash of the packets of video data is sent to a blockchain network where it gets timestamped and stored permanently on the blockchain.

The network would consist of various nodes that ideally aren’t government run. Think like the ACLU, EFF, or Journalists, or people who independently want to join the network. Each would run their own node independently.

So any time theres suspicion that a video may be faked, the courts can just ask the network to send their own copy of the blockchain, if theres a consensus, then the video can be proven to have been created at the time that is timestamped. So there’s no way of creating a fake video evidence after an incident since you wont have the timestamp on the blockchain.

That’s… that’s what the dogs is doing…

I mean, words aren’t just used by yourself. Many people collectively assigned a meaning to specific words. How is this solipcism?

Words are ways to encode ideas like 0 and 1s in a computer or flashed of light as in a morse code.

Words are a way to express ideas from your brain to another brain.

Flowchart:

Your Brain -> Idea -> Word -> Spoken -> Vibration in air -> Interpreted by another person’s ear -> Word -> Idea -> The other person’s Brain

Does that make sense?

Its not solipcism… idk what you mean lol

Nah, people always think thing “peaked” during their era. Its probably nostalgia. Tech back then is, in my opinion, terrible.

I was born around 2000-2003 (not giving exact year for privacy reasons)

Examples:

When I got my first phone (like around 2015 or so), it was an android phone that didn’t have great encryption. You had to manually enable encryption and its not File-Based encryption like in today’s android phones, its Full Disk Encryption which mean alarms dont work if you reboot your phone. And it takes like an hour or 2 to first set up the encryption.

Phones have so much vulnerabilities. Stagefright, Blueborne, etc. Luckily, I never got hacked (or at least not that I’m aware of) but it was just unsettling to know your phone is vulnerable, and you’re even already on the latest update. Also there was a lot of screenlock bypasses. Updates typically is only 1 year OS update and 2 year security updates, if even that. Updates were also very slow to get rolled out.

Security was so bad, I can root my android phone with a random app I downloaded by searching “Android Root”, don’t even need to connect to a pc. Like can you imagine a random app being able to just take root privilages on your phone.

Nowadays, phones are much more secure, even the cheapest samsung phone has 4 years of OS updates, 5 years of security updates. With better encryption.

Phone plans were expensive AF, well I was a kid, but the normal plans had those “Unlimited Data” but with a huge asterisk, data slows after like a certain amount like 5 GB or something, I was unlucky, my parents were a bit cheap so the family plan that I was on only had 30MB of 4g internet, then throttled to 128kbps. Unusable unless you are at home and have wifi.

Nowadays, unlimited plans have become the norm, the plan that I was on even got a free upgrade to unlimited high speed data.

Oh and HTTPS wasn’t default in most sites, some didn’t even have it. And no HSTS as far as I remember.

Back then, there were no such thing as Airtags or Samsung Smarttags that are so cheap and allows tracking misplace items or even your pets. (I mean there are privacy concerns… still, very useful if not misused)

There were no smart watches that can detect a heart attack. (They’re not exactly accurate, but still…)

There were no phones that detect a car crash or even use satelites to make a sos call. (I’m talking about the iPhone 14)

I mean yes we have so much enshittification today, but that’s not really a tech problem, its a corporate greed problem not doesn’t just affect technology.

Technology isn’t bad, its just the way we use it.

Like nuclear technology can be use to build bombs to destroy, or used in power plants to create energy.

My house is in this image and I don’t like it.

Rat infestation is easy, just get a cat.

Cats don’t get rid of roaches tho.

🙄

That makes me wonder. I haven’t even been to like most of the countries on the planet, how do I even know they are real? 🤔

I never even met any of you irl, how do I know y’all aren’t bots? 🤔🤔🤔
