We've enjoyed a certain period (at least a couple of decades) of global, anonymous collaboration that seems to be ending. Trust in the individual is going to become more important in many areas of life, from open-source to journalism and job interviews.
I'd add science here too.

In these cases AI writing the code is pure gain. no, it isn't. unless the generated code is just a few lines long, and all you are doing is effectively autocompletion, you have to go through the generated code with a fine toothed comb to be sure it actually does what you think it should do and there are no typos. if you don't, you are fooling yourself.
> with a fine toothed comb to be sure it actually does what you think it should do and there are no typos. if you don't, you are fooling yourself so the exact same thing you should be doing in code reviews anyway?
and as i wrote in my other comment, reviewing the code of a junior developer includes the satisfaction of helping that developer grow through my feedback. AI will never grow. there is no satisfaction in reviewing its code. instead it feels like a sisyphusian task, because the AI will make the same mistakes over and over again, and make mistakes a human would be very unlikely to make. unlike human code with AI code you have to expect the unexpected.

I've been trying to manifest Web of Trust coming back to help people navigate towards content that's created by humans. A system where I can mark other people as trusted and see who they trust, so when I navigate to a web page or in this case, a Github pull request, my WoT would tell me if this is a trusted person according to my network.

A curation network, one which uses SSL-style chain-of-trust (and RSS-style feeds maybe?) seems like it could be a solution, but I'm not able to advance the thought from just being an amorphous idea.

Trust in the real world is not immutable. It is constantly re-evaluated. So the Web of Trust concept should do this as well. Also, there needs to be some significant consequence to people who are bad actors and, transitively, to people who trust bad actors. The hardest part isn’t figuring out how to cut off the low quality nodes. It’s how to incentivize people to join a network where the consequences are so high that…
I really don't want to expand the surveillance state...
It is the exact thing this system needs
A LinkedIn comment I made on an adjacent topic: > If the job market is unfavourable to juniors, become senior. That requires networking with a depth deep enough that other professionals are willing to critique your work. So... open-source contributions, I guess? This increases pressure on senior developers who are the current maintainers of open-source packages at the same time that AI is stealing the attention econo…
That’s just the regular LinkedIn nonsense. Very few people have the time and other resources to become seniors while unemployed. On top of that, it’s still unlikely that they’ll pass the HR filter without senior positions on their resumes, regardless of their actual knowledge.

Sure, it's true today. Entertain the hypothetical though because this is what the trillion dollar rush is aspiring to do in the near future. We should be thinking about our answers now.
Answers to what? Do I care what tools the artist use as long I get the results I want? I don't understand what you see as the issue, that I somehow think I'd be working with a human but it was a machine?
