This still allows the government to see which service provider you are using.

That was a poor choice then. They can do this with ZKP and not even know that.

Like it should be doable where sure the website might ask the government if its valid, but the government doesnt know who owns the token, so all they know is someone accessed the site, not who. So they could know general traffic to sites, but that would be it.

There would be ways to hide even the site as well where the website gives you a non identifying token to use with yours and be verified by the government as well, then they only know some site is requesting verification and sign it back to you as valid and you return it to the site. In this one the government only knows your using it, but not where.

Edit: clarity, but also if they put this much effort into the system using ZKP, this oversight almost sounds intentional so they can track people / population usage even if less.

Edit: 10 years from now - our age restriction service shows traffic to porn hub increased 10x over the past decade while poverty has increased! PornHub is clearly the cause of our poverty situation we should ban it! The traffic is too high! A bit over the top, but the info is still useful to them.

I wonder if any companies would ever accept that as proof hah.

First time I’m hearing about a non google OEM made phone, that would be amazing!

And immediately blocked.

I’m not against AI, I use it, but I want to be using it on my terms, not have it shoved into everything I use.

You can make them biometric and still be private, but that’s even more effort which they wont spend.

the technology itself and mistrust of government are, at least partly, different things

I don’t personally think so when it comes to technologies like this that can be used to surveil and/or control a population (edit: and especially that are being heavily driven by governments)

It’s pretty much a given that it will be used against us as history has shown us its always the case.

Trying to separate them out, gives them the extra support they need to pass it through and then abuse it.

The basis is its how the world communicates and they become the gate keepers to communication and knowledge. Its like book banning on topics they don’t like but on a scale much more massive.

They’re already banning internet content from people that shouldn’t be about sexual health because its not about protecting kids its about controlling them and people.

You gotta be a good sheep and they’re going to do their best to make you one.

No, we still need to be against it. I said tracking and controlling, not just tracking.

They are already blocking resources that shouldn’t be blocked from youth, and even a privacy centric method would still let them do that, and then expand it to anything at a whim in the future.

We don’t want the internet built on this infrastructure, it would br a disaster.

Because its not about age verification, its about tracking and controlling you and making a privacy respecting solution isn’t compatible with that.

And because he posted in a gaming community he can’t have any other use for it?

I game, I dabble in local AIs.

He could do all sorts of stuff that might need it.

Grok isn’t a company, its xAi

The warning is futile. Everyone that partakes will do it at least once.

Not OP but 64gb of ram will let them run some good sized AI models locally along with their video card. Definitely enough to play around with things now and in the future.

Engineer: we can use this $0.05 nut and it should last a decade, or we can use this $0.049 nut and it’ll maybe last 2 years.

Boss: Use the 0.49 nut and were giving you a promotion!

In Canada when I was growing up, if you didnt take french immersion, they made you take 1 french language class a year up until grade 10.

They also taught Japanese in my highschool and for senior year if you’d taken them all you could go on a trip to Japan.

Apparently the lidar in some cars can damage cameras and are safe for eyes.

I remember visiting my uncle and being young enough I slept in a crib, but I was old enough to walk around. I barely remember anything else about the trip though.

I don’t think i can place another memory until preschool. I can remember the layout of the preschool and some activities we did at it.

Wow that is such an elegant solution! Definitely a principal level solution!

No wonder its been working 3 years.

Well done!

“don’t execute a command in the terminal you found online or were told to run, unless you understand fully what it does.”

We should start littering the internet with bad commands with all sorts of comments saying it works amazingly for its purpose so the AI will keep destroying things if let to run unchecked.

Imagine the trouble they could have saved themselves and others if that’s how they marketed it everywhere instead.
