Chain of Custody for a Machine Decision

Evidence that cannot prove its own handling is no evidence at all. The same is becoming true of artificial intelligence decisions. This essay applies forensic chain of custody to machine actions and lands on the signed, tamper-evident, offline-verifiable record as the difference between a log and admissible proof.

The stuff that will never die... So the DOJ’s “raw” Epstein prison video? Turns out metadata shows it was processed with video editing software before release—multiple times. And there’s still a full minute missing, right at midnight. Why stitch together and re-export ‘raw’ evidence unless you’ve got something to hide (or at the very least, something to “frame”)? This is exactly why nobody trusts official narratives anymore. #Epstein #DOJ #ChainOfCustody

Paper voting might sound ancient, but I'm not convinced digital voting is secure enough to replace it. While the digital method would increase convenience, easier to use rarely means safer.

At least with paper voting, you can physically keep them safe from tampering.

Just a quick thought, wanted to record it here and maybe some of you out there disagree, i'd love to hear why.
