- Alexis Ohanian said that the internet is less human now, and much more “quasi-AI.”
- “I think we’ll see a next generation of social media emerge that’s verifiably human,” he said on TBPN.
- Ohanian mentioned the “dead internet theory,” which Sam Altman has also recently referenced.
So, is there a way for us to be that next generation where we can verify that we’re human?
Dicks out for verification
What… what if you don’t have one…?
I don’t know how you guys walk around with those things.
No one said it had to be yours.
~They do make strap ons.~
A dick is just a clitoris that got reconfigured by one’s genetics prior to birth, I’m sure those would count too. The few folk with rare genetic conditions that cause them to be born without any genitals at all will be out of luck though.
the default sex is female, if the anti-meullerian hormone isnt for some reason released in male fetal development. or the sry gene in the y chromosone is misisng.
No, you misunderstand. Dicks are out for verification. We need a new method that doesn’t depend on the patriarchy.
Use your local equivalent!
No big deal.
Humanity isn’t something we verify it is something we cultivate.
The obsession with verification comes from an empty conception about humanity.
The question isn’t really how do we verify which of us is human, the question is what spaces have degraded sufficiently that the mark of human interaction is no longer discernible in the noise and what are the mechanisms in which they have done so?
Systematic tolerance or indifference to hatespeech is one great way to degrade the humanity of a space for example.
Yeah, just let Sam Altman scan your eyeballs with an orb and he’ll certify you’re human. Nothing dystopian about that and certainly no potential for abuse.
