Not the guy you were talking to but I wonder, what do you think about privacy preserving age verification?

A site requests your age, this opens a 3rd party oauth or similar login where you can login without the site directly seeing it, you get a request similar to logging in with google and getting the “this site will see your email and real name”, but the request will only contain your age. The third party will cryptographically sign the message containing only the request uuid and your age (or even just >18 or <18) and the site itself can verify that, but nothing more or less.

I’m a bit sceptical, especially of governments lagging behind these things. I’m hopeful that this will solve itself or be solved soon though.

Sadly these days people can just tell some LLM to make changes and waste everyone’s time, on top of being fraud in this case

I assume only German citizens can sign this? I upvoted here if that helps, because it sounds like a great initiative, maybe if this gains traction this can go europe wide?

The difficult part is measuring work done I’m afraid though. For volunteer work as e.g. reading books to kids or cleaning streets it’s relatively easy to see that things are happening, even if some are better/faster than others. Unless you’re going to force people to work in live calls or whatever, or just trust self-reporting, that’s going to be hard, no?

Or do you mean more like subsidies for nonprofits working in open source?

Either way, good initiative, I hope for its success!

Sounds interesting, want to share a minimal example?

Smooth solution

There’s lots of good uses for AI, but people seem to equate AI with LLMs these days so I feel the need to point out that this is not a good use case for LLMs

And illegal under GDPR I’m pretty sure

Especially if you use “bread” loosely

Fair enough 😄

I think that explains it well

In university we had c++ and python courses alongside each other, and I currently get paid to write python. I honestly believe my knowledge of c++ (and of course the rest of the courses which went deeper into cpu architectures and data structures and whatnot) makes me a better python programmer, because of the deeper understanding of what goes on under the hood.
