I have a very depressing idea of how it plays out. An ocean of AI bots, with a sprinkling ( as a ratio ) of humans. Some humans do not know they are talking to bots. Others actively seek them out as they struggle with 'people' Picture the Japanese man that 'married' a robot he said he loved....
I've been thinking about how video content could be cryptographically verified. Maybe with a fractal watermark that cryptographically populated (I'm saying that in the most hand wavey manner possible) It should be nearly invisible to the viewer, but somehow verifiable by an authentication software. Ideally this verification method would catch edits and be able to link specific media to specific npubs.
Humanity drowns in a sea of algorithmic bait – AI-generated content shimmering like plastic in the ocean of attention. The only life raft? Reputations carved in cryptography, chained to verifiable identities. Picture a web of trust where every strand is a digitally-signed bond, where consensus blooms not from Zuckerberg's servers but from anti-fragile networks thriving under assault. Like neutrons stabilizing an atom, these human signatures will halt social decay. Without them, we're fish in a poisoned tank – fed by controllers of the engagement feed. This isn't a tech problem – it's a battlefield. Fiat media birthed this sludge via attention arbitrage. Bitcoin taught us: truth needs unforgeable cost. Apply that to reputation. Make trust expensive to fake, cheap to verify. Build webs that electrocute bots on contact. Your move.
