This snake simultaneously develops LMMs and a global biometric database that they hope to be required to use the internet[1] due to the problems widespread LMMs create. Pure evil.
Let's not forget that we are also seeing TPM/WEI type schemes being widely developed and deployed. Ubiquitous biometric surveillance and unforgeable cryptographic signatures for everything you think or do in our now-hyperconnected world is absolutely terrifying.
It's impossible to see all of this (and other dystopian visions from his davos friends like brain transparency[2]) coming to a head at the same time as anything other than a declaration of war on computers, the internet, and general purpose humanity.
I'm begging and pleading with each and every one of you reading this -- stop this. Do everything in your power to stop all of it. This brave new world being created is evil and humanity may not survive it.

> So my high-level response is that something like World ID will eventually exist, meaning that you will need to verify [that you are human] on the internet, whether you like it or not. I think that's certainly going to happen with the progress in AI. It’s probably going to happen in the next couple of years.
EDIT: @dang can you please purge my IP address from the account creation/login database and logs? I am not comfortable speaking truth to power and I know he was former president of yc. You can go ahead and lock the account too, I don't need it any more. Maybe one of you can email dang for me, I don't want to associate with this account any more than I already have. Thank you for reading.
