Edwards said that as more in-person and online experiences require sharing drivers licenses, vendors who collect this sensitive data need to be held to a higher standard.

OR, stop playing that 1984 playbook, bro. it was a warning, not an instruction manual

@optimism got trained on LLM material, or did LLMs get trained on @optimism material?

I do wonder though if the next generation will start talking more like LLMs due to their abundant interaction with it from an early age. I think I read a headline about that a while ago, but guess it's too early to quantify it.

What makes you say that though? It can be that bots are rubbing off on me.

The typical It was this, not that pattern. Tbf, it already existed before LLMs, it just became so much more prevalent.

Oh yeah I think I did that before Sam Altman was a bad dream in his dad's nutsack, but you are right... last couple of months this is prevalent and it spread wide because they all RL on the same traces now.

It can be I use it more now. This morning alone I read 30 issues of slop. I didn't even get to do my "work on shit while bots are busy" because I'm once again the bottleneck.

I don't envy you. I missed the screenshot earlier.

I'll be fine, this is just one ecosystem. I haven't even had time to dig through today's signal release yet.

I have 29 pending followup tasks queued from this alone right now, after I ran through all these. But now Claude is down and my ppq runner is also down due to me experimenting too much. Means I won't have to read slop for at least an hour now though! But the backlog is real and I'm not looking forward to my evening.

Having recently crossed a few borders, the only thing I can say is that we are doomed. They scan, image, fingerprint, and record everything. In one airport alone, I believe I went through three separate identity screenings. There is absolutely Nero chance they safely segregate that data. So we must all get used to the idea that all identifying data is publicly available (fingerprints included).

By the time governments (who seem to drive most of this ID craze) finally wise up, we will be entirely pwnd.

Interesting. Last time I was at DFW I got 3 as well, but that was on me. One because coming in from international, went out for a smoke so I had to go through TSA (=2) on the way back in, then my connecting flight had a disconnect so I went back into the parking area and loaded up on nicotine once more, to go through TSA back the second time (=3). I think that if I were to just have a smooth connection it would've just been 2? One for coming in, and one for TSA to get the permission to enter a domestic flight.

we will be entirely pwnd.

I think that eventually they'll have to do something about it. If too many identities are stolen, there will eventually be no point to asking for the identifier. I think that SSNs will be replaced by biometrics for the government things.
