Swarms of bots using GPT-4 and deepfakes will be able to drown out the vanishingly tiny amount of information that all the humans writing online produce, and adversarial networks will make them far more effective at convincing a crowd of humans thay X event happened or to support Y policy, or even rewrite history and science. Similarly our assumptions about identity and privacy and democracy are going to be totally smashed by AI and bots soon. Today we expect a ton of info to flow over always-on connections. The world is going to be as unfamiliar to us, breaking enough of our assumptions, as when people didn’t know about gramophones and televisions and instant communication, assuming that it would take time for a messenger to get a message out.

Too many such renunciations though would be suspicious. And even then, someone can just announce their private keys somewhere and have plausible deniability after that. The future is about watermarking and signing stuff using your own private keys. We won’t be able to trust any video evidence. and the AI will process it and make deepfakes of anything.

That’s why this attempt to stay anonymous - or even more ambitiously, prevent metadata from being aggregated to reveal mass patterns among many users - is useless.Įventually, everything will be collected using an actual use case - contacts, photos etc.
