On: Sora is here

I don't even know if this will be possible, or how it would work, but it seems like the next iteration of social media will be based on some verification that the user is not using AI or is a bot. Currently they are all incentivized to not stop bot activity because it increases user counts, ad revenue, etc.

Maybe the model is you have to pay per account to use it, or maybe the model will be something else.

I doubt this will make everyone just go back to primarily communicating in person/via voice servers but that is a possibility.

Twitter Blue is paid and yet every single bot account has it in order to boost views.

Spammers can afford more money per bot for their operations than the average user can justify to spend on social media.

So Musk was right?

No, because Musk encourages AI slop if people are willing to pay.

What we probably need (this is going to sound crazy, but I don’t have a better suggestion), is some kind of networked trust system.

Like Community Notes? It's actually a darn good system.
