AI ought to stand for “Attribution Imperative” because the increased importance of attribution is the most immediate need I see in response to AI. There was a time when studying a macrophoto of an insect didn’t require you to know if it was real or not. If a diagram of the water cycle looked like it came from a textbook it was probably “fine”— those days are over. Further attribution helps creators in a time where their work is being mined and replaced.
@futurebird Absolutely agree - a project I need to get back to working on and get to a github-able state: self generated "stateful identity tokens" ('idens') which can be used indefinitely as a proof of continuity/identity publicly everywhere - so the individual may be human or not, but we know in any context where they publish or interact that they are still "them".
I need to start re-reading my code and figure out how complete/ugly where I left off is.
