I really really hope more people take up pen and paper! My last blog post [0] came with proof-of-work attached.

Doesn't seem too hard to fake now, now that AI can generate convincing videos. Failing that, it's definitely within the realm of possibility for AI to create fake pages for a notebook, then generate a blender/unreal engine project to render it.

Imagine the cost involved for this though: I know you know my proof is genuine. Are we saying we’ll soon efficiently automate the generation of believable video evidence… for blog posts?!

I was just thinking about this, the proof of work angle. Maybe written blogs need to come with recordings of the process now too, otherwise they will be suspicious.

What a goofy situation to imagine. I hope we can figure out a way though. I personally have no interest in reading anything spat out by an LLM, so if anything can be used to prove that an author wrote something themselves, I'm interested

It's a tough problem, since I assume any common proof-of-work standard will inevitably generate a big enough dataset to train on.

But nonetheless a problem in desperate need of solving!
