Yeah, I got my name when gmail was ‘invite only’ :/
It actually kinda sucks. At any given time I have between 3 and a zillion idiots around the globe who, for months or years on end, keep buying concert tickets, airline/vacation bookings, get job hits, legal firm or health-care notifications … using my email (jbloggs@gmail.com) instead of (jbloggs999@gmail.com) or whatever variant they actually signed up for, since I got ‘just my name’ and they keep. forgetting. their. own. bloody. email.
And most of the time this shit is sent from a ‘noreply@wherever.net’ so I can’t even tell them they have the wrong email address. Grrrrrrr.
You know, ten bucks is ten bucks.
If you can, add a 1-star review in Play Store for Google Maps while you’re at it. And a comment why.
Duh. yes my bad :)
I have a vague memory of that Flash TV series way back in 1990 or so, where Barry Allen has to eat like a dozen pizzas after using his super speed. It was a funny nod to the implausibility of superhero powers. How many burgers would Superman need to eat to maintain his metabolism?

Can we start with Sam Altman please? Hah.
I was amazed at first with ChatGPT, outpainting, and the early stuff; it was fun making ‘paintings’ and playing with other imagery, but the main uses are taking such a dark turn I really think we’re going to regret this technology’s existence.
With modern face recognition, … If you want anonymity then don’t include your face (or signature) in the video.
Duh, good point :)
Web of trust – it’s always been so hard to make easy enough to use for the non-technical public, sadly… but yeah that might be the only/best way to really give attestation.
This is scary indeed. We may someday soon need something like an active tattoo on our face, or a badge on clothing, with a pattern that changes each second based on a private/public key pair, so videos can’t be easily faked of our own likeness with a valid visual signature.
That could actually work – a QR code that updates at regular intervals, encoding an ever-changing signature. It could be validated to certify the video of a person was genuine.
Of course that would also mean any authenticated video can never be truly anonymous :(
Mea culpa. It appears this may indeed be fake. My apologies. I have edited my comment to highlight so. :(
EDIT: THE SCREENSHOT I LINKED BELOW IS LIKELY FAKE. My apologies, leaving this comment here for full transparency. My bad.

If I want my fridge enshittified I’ll bag up my own poop and put it in the freezer, thankyouverymuch
Didn’t George Carlin have a bit about how all marketing people should just kill themselves?
