@vaurora Provenance is becoming a big issue. We're going to need attribution and chain-of-custody for online data to trust any of it soon.

@landley I sincerely think curated search is going to be the next big tech business opportunity but it will not be funded by VC

@vaurora @landley Kagi is trying.
Filtering out generated b.s. tho is an impossible task, since some of the world's smartest people have abandoned any and all ethics to make it so.

The spirit behind webrings and blogroll links is gonna come back

They should!

@clive @landley @vaurora I think you can automate it largely with human seeding and early-Google PageRank type scoring, along with additional heuristics like downranking anything with adtech embeds on it. The seeding could probably be powered by mechanisms related to the "decentralized identity & social graph of trust" principles I laid out during the burning of :birdsite:.

@vaurora wow, google advanced image search doesn’t have a date operator. but it does have an image ratio operator, and most (not all) AI generated images are exactly 1:1

Shhh, don't give them ideas about the aspect ratios of their images 😋

0xabad1dea, 5 months ago

@dynode @vaurora it’s just the default because it’s the easiest, and interfaces aimed at being accessible to normal users generally only support 1:1.

@vaurora only way to be sure is to create it yourself
