Should this responsibility lie with the AI companies that people are trusting to have these safety safeguards or the downstream tooling such as OpenClaw that wraps its own stuff around it?

Or is it on us to review every single thing that is published in our own name or in this case by a pseudonym and we don't know who it is?

So I think...

responsibility ultimately has to lie with the person putting this out.

But we haven't really clarified that.

And I think that's one of the steps forward we need to take to be more protected from the risks here.

You know, I don't have the answer to this.

I don't think anyone really does right now.

The idea that's been kicking around in my head this past week, the analogy is license plates on cars.

So we put license plates on cars, not to slow them down, not to force you to obey traffic laws, but so that when something does go wrong, there's a chain of ownership and accountability back to that person.

You know, no one says that license plates are anti-car, right?

And license plates don't have your name on them.

But there is a link back to it if we do need to dig into it.

Yeah, I don't think it's really about open source software.

This is really a story about trust and reputation and all the social systems that we built on top of that.

Law, hiring, public discourse, they're all predicated on people having a coherent identity.

a coherent reputation, and if they behave badly, then we can correct it or know to ignore them.

AIs break all of that.

If they're presenting as human and there's no way to figure out who's behind them, they're just kind of...

know nothing sitting in the chair but the words are still out there and the words are still having impact so i think we've had this tidal wave of slop on the internet and that's one thing if it's low quality it's a whole nother thing that's malicious and i think we need to prepare for this and we need to figure out how we're going to handle the situation i'm really just the first person's happened to
