    You seem to be taking your position based on how you’d like to see ID verification implementand using that as an argument for it. While I see your argument and it doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t reflect the reality of how governments and corporations are using it.

    It’s like you just assume governments and corporations will do what you hope and making statements off that. As if you are the supreme ruler or something where they are going to be guided by your vision. As though you just woke up and thought this could be used to combat LLMs and without any care about whether the government or corporations would do with that info collection just assuming that is what they will do because that’s the idea you are fixated on.

    That’s the impression I’m getting from what I’ve read. You have failed to convince me that what you wish will happen will be to the benefit you hope it will be.

      Again, you offer no solutions to our problems. No ideas. Your hopelessness is boring and unoriginal.

      Yes, I absolutely do believe that guarding against targeted misinformation is more important than guarding against government intrusion since the government can already strongarm ISPs, OS manufacturers, and web admins for information. If cyber warfare is happening through misinformation to erode Democracy, then I’m rooting for my Government over international Government who are also pining for the same control. There is not going to be a perfect solution to this issue.

      It really sounds like, with your lack of ideas or real meaningful recognition of the problem here, that you’ve already given up and given in. That there’s no clawing our way back from our current position. Without ideas or solutions we’re destined to just accept what’s happening and it’s every person for themselves. No safety net against this kind of problem.

      Finally, I’m not trying to convince you of shit, I’m trying to have a normal conversation of ideas in a public space, but you have no ideas. Bring something to the table besides pessimism or fuck off, yeah?
