AFAIK most of the victims actually fall for social engineering in combination with legit apps. If you force developer registration criminals will simply find other attack vectors.

You are restricting a fundamental digital right in exchange for a minuscule reduction in risk.

This is doubleplusungood. The war on General Purpose Computing is the death of innovation and a direct attack on digital freedom.

If you're in the US, UK or EU, please contact your government.

If, and I do mean if, government is a solution here, its only role is to ensure that app use cannot be required for service ( and we can argue over what services can stay app-only ).

Profit is a perverse incentive.

There's the "Not by AI" badge[0].

> if you estimate that at least 90% of your content is created by humans, you are eligible to add the badges

Probably not what most people expect

They expect you to pay for these badges? Madness.

also isn't this just an easy way for LLM companies to get new content almost guaranteed not ai generated?

Legend, thank you!

Ian M. Bank's The Culture universe is such a future, which I think is attainble in a few millennia.

Powerful super-human AI minds will eventually and inevitably take over; which I think is fine provided they recognize all sentient beings as equals.

My reading of the Culture novels is that the Minds basically regard the non-Minds in their society as pets or curiosities. The society itself is basically that of the Minds, as no other participants really have the capacity to interface with them on that level.

I have a different reading -- I see the Minds having a very strong moral imperative to give every sentient creature the best possible life, both in a material and psychological way. I see them more like very dedicated servants with god-like powers.

Basically no non-Minds were consulted in any meaningful fashion regarding the matter of handling the excession, at least as far as the text goes.

Equal how or in what regard?

Equal in a sense that every sentient being (silicon- or carbon-based) is considered a valuable part of society with the same fundamental rights of any other part.
