Tell me you never worked with LaTeX and an university style guide without telling me you never worked with LaTeX and an university style guide.
Approximately no one writes internet comments or even articles in LaTeX.

I fail to understand your worry. This will change nothing regarding some people’s tendency to foster and exploit negative emotions for traction and money. “AI makes it easier”, was it hard to stumble across out-of-context clips and photoshops that worked well enough to create divisiveness? You worry about what could happen but everything already has happened.
> “AI makes it easier”, was it hard to stumble across out-of-context clips and photoshops that worked well enough to create divisiveness? Yes. And I think this is what most tech-literate people fail to understand. The issue is scale. It takes a lot of effort to find the right clip, cut it to remove its context, and even more effort to doctor a clip. Yes, you're still facing Brandolini's law[1], you can see that with…
Just have video cameras (mostly phones these days) record a crypto hash into the video that the video sharing platforms read and display. That way we know a video was recorded with the uploader's camera and not just generated in a computer software.
There aren't that many big tech companies that are responsible for creating the devices people use to record and host the platforms and software that people use to play back the content.

I’m spending way too much time on the RealOrAI subreddits these days. I think it scares me because I get so many wrong, so I keep watching more, hoping to improve my detection skills. I may have to accept that this is just the new reality - never quite knowing the truth.
Before photography, we knew something was truthful because someone trustworthy vouched for it. Now that photos and videos can be faked, we'll have to go back to the older system.

It is so irritating that people now think you've used an LLM just because you use nice typography. I've been using en dashes a ton (and em dashes sporadically) since long before ChatGPT came around. My writing style belonged to me first—why should I have to change? If you have the Compose key [1] enabled on your computer, the keyboard sequence is pretty easy: `Compose - - -` (and for en dash, it's `Compose - - .`). T…
How do you find yourself using en dashes more than em dashes?
I'm sure this goes against many style guides, but for everyday use it's what feels most natural to me.

https://roc.camera/ This was on hn this year, and it was, in classic HN fashion, dismissed as a problem in search of a solution. Well, perhaps people in this thread will think differently
> verifiably real moments would someone benefit from demonstraing a photo is real? The top usecase I can think of it to ensure AI is trained on real photos. Any upside for humans?
You don't know if there's a benefit in knowing the photo you look at is real?
