Stop. Electing. Fraudsters.

Especially when the fraudster is a convicted felon.

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.

"China sell subscription-based Great Firewall technology to Taliban."

(Why subscription? You know... "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" aka just Capitalism with red paint sprinked on top.)

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

Thats just saying "Hey Netanyahu, please don't come here, I don't wanna make this awkward."

Did you know, chimps don't have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.

Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.

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.

Convicted felons and lies? There seems to be a correlation... hmm... 🤔

I don't think there's really a free vpn. Because unlike movies/tv or games that can be infinitely copied with basically zero cost, VPN is a service that requires constant electricity, internet connection, and eventually the hardware that the VPN runs on needs to be replaced. There's ProtonVPN that have a free version has limited servers to choose from and intended for people living in authoritarian countries to bypass censorship, therefore it blocks all P2P connections.

Well there CalyxVPN, provided by the Calyx Institute, a non-profit. P2P doesn't appear to be blocked, but the download speeds are slow as a snail. It'd take a day just to download a movie with 2GB file size. This VPN is supposed to be for educational purposes so like torrenting seems to be not in the spirit of what its supposed to be for, but like nothing is stopping you from using it.

There's also many cheap vpns that cost only like 2-3 US dollars a month but it seem like those require you to pay upfront for an entire year which would average out to be 2-3 US dollars a month.

And there are also many direct download options when it comes to piracy, those will usually not get you in trouble, since your IP wouldn't be a part of a swarm so theres nothing for copyright trolls to report on.
