  • When you think about it, it does make sense from the business point of view. Banks don’t make money on individual customers, so the ones that use physical locations. They make money off corporate customers, who are terribly unlikely to ever need to talk to a clerk in person. And with individual customers moving to online banking, it’s even less justifiable to run a physical location.













  • okay, let’s rethread how we got here:

    OP: Spanish girls report AI porn of them circulating

    parent comment: Blockchain could fix this

    1-st level reply: Blockchain can’t counteract fake porn being created

    2-nd level reply: it lets you verify original source

    3-rd level reply: if anything it lets you verify integrity between sources

    you: if a central authority can’t be trusted to verify sources then Blockchain can

    me: it’s not about verifying provenance of the material but rather its mere existence in the world

    you: we can store the fingerprint of the file in a trusted database

    me: but this doesn’t affect the material’s existence

    you: you’re going off-topic!

    me: I am not

    you: this conversation can have multiple threads

    can you now see how it’s you who’s off the rails in this conversation? noone ever questioned how blockchain could allow verifying any piece’s of media authenticity, but spreading forged, nonconsensual erotica is NOT about proving whether a photo or video in question is authentic; the problem is that people have got tools to do so in the first place, and before a victim can counteract and prove (using blockchain if you will) that a particular photo is a forgery, the damage is done regardless
