It’s kind of besides the point. Yes they don’t add anything unique and yes it was most likely because if hype, but NFTs is just what they used in the wip to store the signatures on, but the core principle is flawed no matter what you put it on.

Sorry I thought you suggested DNS to solve the core issues.

A digital signature works with public/private keys and content hashes. This is a solved problem.

In fact, it’s part of secure DNS.

What would that solve? NFTs don’t have to be powerhungry proof of work, that was just for the monkeys. The public ledger part of this is not the problem.

How would that work? Why would you have any reason to trust me in this chain?

then you know for sure that CNN released it.

Why not link to the original CNN source then, if you want to be trusted? You’d have to do that anyways if you want to use the CNN footage in your own video.

I don’t think people who care about the validity of a news video will be helped much with this, and people who don’t care about the truth can easily ignore it too.

As a news organisation they should have their own due diligence about sources etc

But what if they can’t anymore? News orgs don’t only show video that they recorded. They have videos from freelance reporters, people who were at an event, government orgs, other news orgs in other countries…

It’s the paperclip maximizer in action.

Sign every video automatically? Sounds like chatcontrol all over.

Also, I could just generate a video on my computer and film it with my phone. Now it’s signed, even has phone artifacts for added realism.

The point was to sign AI footage so you know what’s fake. NFTs can be used as a decentralized repository of signatures. You could realistically require the companies to participate, but the idea doesn’t work because you can edit footage so it doesn’t match the signature. More robust signatures exist, but none is good enough, especially since the repo would have to be public.

Signing real footage makes even less sense. You’d have to trust everybody and their uncle’s signature.

So “God” is a LLM trained on all human text. Created in the image of man. And it helps you analyse bible texts, in stead of going through a pastor, not very Catholic is it?

Anybody who does docker compose pull for any service?

That’s like saying you shouldn’t call artificial grass artificial grass cause it isn’t grass. Nobody has a problem with that, why is it a problem for AI?
