On the flip side what choice will they have after sony’s AI gets them cut off by claiming rights to the pictures of thier own kids on facebook. They will need lots of tech to get back online. And we know there are people who will find a way to make it dead simple.

Only if the private biz sells meth

Well, they are in fact human. Trying to understand how they got the way they are is the first step to trying to not let more of them happen. That said, the rotten apple is still an apple. But in the end, I am still going to throw it away.

So, you have fully backed my response. OP didn’t ask if it was possible with some caveats. I understand a (at a high level) the technical options that can get close to what OP asked for, but it fundamentally just isn’t possible without caveats.

You could, but that wouldn’t address OPs question. The IRS is known for giving info to other parts of the government to aid in prosecution. And the gov has shown they are terrible at cyber security, so you might as well just post your browser history on the web.

Read back what you wrote. Your first line was about a trusted credential provider. Thats a middle man. Then you talk about creating a proof. Guess what, that phone and browser are known to spy on you excessively. That’s another middle man. And odds are that same phone or browser it what you will use to access something that needs the verification. So the same phone or browser has all parts of the information.
And of course it’s pointless because anyone could steal an ID and get themselves a key. Or steal your phone… so it wouldn’t even prove anything.

Nope, you always need a middle man to do the verification. That middle man has too much information.

Also, if you could solve for the middle man, there is no way to know the user belongs to the ID. It can easily be stolen.

Verbal communication is horribly inefficient. This is why smaller teams can very often accomplish more than larger teams. The communication overhead, including miscommunications, grows more than linearly. Us detail oriented people give more detail than the average person can obsorb (nor wants to). This causes an increase in the “yes” response just to end the discussion.
On the flip side, non-detail oriented people on average have a really hard time seeing all the potential interpretations of thier words. To them, thier interpretation is the only one that exists. So any question either means the questioners is dumb, or doesn’t trust them.

I believe the solution for the later is generally to communicate some pleasantly about what they said that reassures them that you trust them or something. But I have yet to be able to build that habit. For the former… write docs (if we are talkjng work). Then speak concisly and reference the existence of the docs. They probably won’t read them, but it can fill our need to communicate the details and allow us to be more comfortable leaving out details in the conversation. At least to me, the details are a compulsion.

How is it on easy of use for the non-techies? And compatability of apps?

I do look forward to the day that I can have a phone that unfolds into a tablet size. I have two devices because my old ass has trouble reading and typing on a phone. But that is going to take an extra dimension of folding.

Pixel? https://www.techradar.com/phones/are-the-new-google-pixel-phones-spying-on-you

Pixel? By google? I can’t imagine they aren’t collecting a ton of data on users. It’s thier whole business model. I don’t know about the others, but by including the pixel I am dubious if the others are any better than samsung.

Jeremiah, Jericho, dead like me.

They were all great ideas (though jericho wasn’t necessarily original), that if you grabbed some great writers could be modernized to be awesome. But since they didn’t have a wide audience, they never will happen unless I use this power. Most of the others mentioned here will eventually get redone.

Now tell us how you really feel… actually, maybe don’t. :) (so you don’t get banned. Lol)

I can’t imagine the pixel is much better. I think the question you have should be inverted. What doesn’t have spyware…

But what options are there for non tech savvy people. Apple isn’t any better.

I’ve been told that it struggles at very high scale. But other than that, everyone I know of who has tried it, like it.

The key (to surviving) for me is similar. Simplify as much day to day stuff as I can. Build habits to reduce the cognitive load of doing day to day tasks. I’ve been at it for decades, and it is still a struggle. Always will be I suppose.

Having played a lot of raft with my kids, I can say I never would have thought of it for this. But looking back, yeah, there is a good deal of world building going on.

Sounds like you forgot to consider the energy cost of developing each AI model. Developing and maintaining a model is vastly more energy intense than 3d game dev. Keep in mind that you can ship a 3d game and ramp down gpu use for dev. But an AI model has to be constantly updated, mostly by completely retraining. Also, noone was clamoring to build massive data centers just to develope one game. Yet they are for one model.
