#^poe's law comes into full flower

this all sounds like a disaster, but that’s because you’re thinking about it from inside the frame.

if you basically lose the ability to trust anything, you cannot see, any text or information about the world, any photo, any video, disembodied voice, zoom face or phone call, any of it, what do you do?

you stop trusting it.

the world gets small again. you trust what you see with your own eyes. business moves to highly protected, verified networks, but even these are not really trusted because the arms race to break any new safeguard will always be ferocious and AI mediated fraud and intrusion is a level of relentless attack on every surface at once all the time every time that will make some bigtime penetrations inevitable.

so for the real high trust? face to face. IRL. hands get shaken, eyes get looked into, and people once more do business directly with people.

i think this has the potential to make people happier.
