Web 3, Authenticity and the Post-Photographic Age
summary
Claims rapid adoption metrics — 1 million users in five days for ChatGPT and image generation hitting 1 million users in one hour — and projects that one service could produce 100 million images a week, equating to five months of AI output matching 150 years of photography. Describes concrete builds: 5 petabytes hashed and signed of genocide testimony, camera-level cryptographic signing for Reuters in 2020, C2PA metadata work and a dossier submitted to the ICC. Emphasizes cryptography (not cryptocurrency) as the tool and notes real deployments and tradeoffs.
