Pretty crazy there's no PKI in place to verify photos, videos, or text. We just need apps to verify signatures and tell users about the origin. Memes can remain unsigned, but veritable information should always be traceable to a source.

E.g. I'm more inclined to believe a video sourced by AP (sent to me by whomever) than one posted by the white house twitter without signature.

[–] Tenderizer@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That would either be terrible for right-to-repair on cameras, or be easily bypassed. And I don't even know what PKI would mean for text.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't mean cameras. I'm thinking of easy to use signature apps that allow anyone to authenticate sources and you get to decide whether you trust the source or not. The forward from klandma wouldn't be sourced or maybe by klan news, while you could disregard any "oh my god I'm in the hospital please send monies" picture that isn't signed.

[–] porkloin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That’s a really good and reasonable idea, which is why I’m absolutely sure it will never happen 😢

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Just turn away from your phone screen and go outside. There is an entire non-AI world to explore and steward.

[–] Tenderizer@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe 2026 is finally the year of touching grass.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I’ve been getting back into my favorite childhood TV shows and finding some good library books. No AI slop there. 🙂

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I love the library too! I'm always happy when I'm in there.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Hard same. ❤️💕 I’ll support the public library any and every chance I get as long as they keep serving the public good.

Is this AI?

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Can you feel it? You won't be able to tell soon and that means you'll just need to plug in like the Matrix. Then it won't matter right? Everything will be constructed. While the billionaires play in the real world. You'll be plugged in but you'll be a billionaire in your own world. You'll have the same thoughts, feelings, experiences except they will be "fake". You just better hope that no one turns your shit off, otherwise reality is hell.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Or you know unplug. Touch grass. Cottage core.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

one of the reasons for all the visual LLM garbage is because it's good enough to make you question, and by questioning they know it's causing an unnecessary stress. Eat the slop and enjoy it. Fighting it won't stop it.

It's insidious and makes us question everything now.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

We've been doing it for decades with photoshop.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

You're saying that as if it was a long time...

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I'm more of a Simmental than a Hereford, but the sentiment's spot on.

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Obligatory "Mood"

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

Isn't that the plot of Inception?

[–] OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I felt like this after the Elon Musk and JE island email thing

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 1 points 6 days ago

The bubble could pop anytime now

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

stop looking at it

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 0 points 6 days ago

NIRATIAS (nothing is real and this is a simulation)

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 113 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Go outside and you won't have to ask.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 167 points 1 week ago

Me going outside:

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (6 children)

People are just as fake as AI

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Some. Many, if not most, are just flawed human beings.

I don't enjoy this "everyone sucks" mentality you see online a lot.

[–] jared@mander.xyz 52 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The animals and plants are pretty cool.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Wow, you're really just suckling at the teat of Big Bird, aren't you? No, wait, not like the Big Bird, but...

Birds aren't real, whatever.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some of them. I'm not a fan of poison ivy, or geese.

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Geese are at least forthcoming with their intent to mess you up

Go outside

The genie is out of the bottle, but at some point, LLM/image-gen providers are going to have to raise prices for their services. While this won't do anything to stop self-hosters, it might cut down on the number of casual users just a tiny bit. At least I hope it will!

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

My concern is that "self hosters" in this context are state actors with their own data centers.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 20 points 1 week ago

The genie is out of the bottle

This is a lot more like Pandora's Box - all the evils have been let loose.

Glad to be here, witnessing the death of the internet as we know it here together. I'm pretty sure most of you are real so let's enjoy the show together before we all go outside again!

As the internet lay dying I wondered if I should be crying A great gift to mankind is losing it's mind

Should we stay? Said the friends we made along the way

Who are we without web? But who, is the web without the we?

Even as we grieve and leave

Remember.

There is no web without the we And where we go the web will be

There was a brief window before this mess where we used to be unsure if things were cake or not, I long for those simpler times.

[–] MadBits@europe.pub 3 points 6 days ago

It was all a test all along.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Take a bit out of a person to see if they are made out of linear algebra.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Do you really think there’s a 50 foot tall transparent cow out there?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Of course not. It's cold outside. I brought her inside.
