My god, horrific. Does not everyone know everything online is a psyop now? I will tel you, they don't. No one studies things, no one takes the time. AI, social media, it all has to be protested, boycotted.

Now it seems war is coming from the US it could not be more true that at this moment.

How about a few prison terms for conspiracy to defraud? And not for small fry like the "CEO" of this company either. Why not, say, 10 years for Marc Andreesen, personally? And, no, no "disrupting" it with serve-your-time-as-a-service, either.
I hate that Marc Andreesen' arc went from Mosaic to supervillain.

It's easier to count billionaires who aren't supervillains.

p.s. this is not a great photo of Marc on his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Marc_Andreessen-9_(croppe...

The money just brings out their real persona.
He's eggmaxxing.
A farm boy from the tundra of rural Wisconsin. That’s how he starts every single interview.
Oh it’s a great photo, on the contrary. Captures his essence perfectly.
> He posted on HN.

The call is coming from inside the house.

No, we should not stop something that is inevitable. We should work with it to find ways that it fits into a productive society, such as anonymously verifying that you are a citizen so the cost of abuse is at least a felony.
Nothing makes this inevitable. People like you who want to do nothing about it makes it inevitable.
Why? Generic computation existing always means this will be possible. The cats out of the bag. You can’t regulate computation globally. You can only enforce it on the platform level.

I want to do plenty about it, I want to make the barrier to allow this shit online identity theft to make it too expensive to do.

This is moral failure.
