It's interesting, because the subconscious ability of the mind to identify discrepancies is incredible (even if we ignore that feeling we get about something). The feel of counterfeit bills, the color someone choose to wear, the sound that doesn't quite fit.

You could trick me into believing I was taking with Elon, but not my son.

Older people are less likely to invest in high risk, high yield.

This makes me think there could be use for a very very (very) easy-to-use tool that allows two parties to choose and store a secret (verbally pronounceable) passphrase known only to the two of them, for use in situations in which it might be necessary to ‘sign’ a video chat or audio conversation in which one party’s identity might be in doubt.

I always liked that idea (not original, I know) in the Harry Potter books (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, more specifically), where two people ask a private question they should only know to be sure they are not being impersonated.

I've seen people try and share such a "password" verbally on a video call. With recording and live transcribing on. From free-tier extensions with wobbly privacy policies.

This won't work.

I've resorted to using OTP apps with family and coworkers.

Well, I understand how it works, and I still find it freaking amazing. The quality is... impressive. On the flip side, the ability to deep-fake a face in real time on a video call is now accessible to pretty much every script kiddie out there. In other words, you can no longer trust what your eyes see on video calls. We live in interesting times.

It's got a lot of uncanny valley going on. Zuck looks like a corpse. I'm sure it could fool some people, but I'm not terrified yet.

I think you are misreading the post. Pretty sure they meant

you could trick me into believing I was talking with Elon, but you could not trick me into believing I was talking with my son

To which I agree personally, though I don't know how universal this is.

Older people are less likely to have their entire personas and private lives fully documented on social media.

For many (notably mastercard and VISA), when they say “ethical” they really mean anything but porn.

that seems like an overreaction. the card processors ban much more questionable trades - such as weapons and terrorism financing
