But since Hamas attacked a music festival first it’s ok right?
Or maybe it’s ok because Hamas hides.in tunnels under an hospital?
I need to find a good reason to say it’s ok otherwise it means my government isn’t doing what it should…

I’m glad there are authorities out there (like Google) that act as gatekeepers and track the worthiness of senders. Without that, there would just be no way to close the floodgates. Is Google the best company for that? It’s definitely one of the good ones for that.
No, you can’t forge emails easily as you say. Maybe DMARC isn’t perfect, but it works just fine. Attacks that bypass that are done on misconfigured systems, so human error, which can happen with any tech, the one from this post included.
Yes email is an old tech, but let’s not pretend like it hasn’t evolved. It’s not perfect, but it generally works. I don’t think you need to go fully decentralized, but some steps to have more than a single authority could be positive.
You’re not adding anything that wasn’t argued towards before. Soon or later, you have to trust something. There are ways to transfer keys by other means which you can use to corroborate.
The tradeoffs of this idea are just not worth it for 99% of the people.
I understand how public-private keys work, and I understand why you’d want one. I just think this implementation of a register is bad. Not from a security risk, from a use case point of view; it’s for all intent and purposes an email which if ever compromised is forever compromised and non reusable. It’s an email that’s unrecoverable so not usable in many companies.
I’m sure there are other reasons to not like the idea, but that’s what I can think off the top of my head.
Except the trust of the source of the blockchain, or some certificate authority somewhere at some point, but ya, that’s kinda assumed as there is no way of making a “first handshake” that’s secure.
For me, it all looks like someone is trying to make a product rather than solve an actual issue.
They used a clickbaity title, they’ll get clickbaity judgement.
It’s also not in their abstract, which is supposed.to contain the most important facts. Their first sentence is about how AI generated faces are indistinguishable. No, they’re not. It’s like saying “writing random numbers solves any numerical equation”, not mentioning that I took a gazillion random numbers and did my study on the ones that matched.
I understand why you’re cautious in the “accusation” (don’t put too much weight on accusation, it’s just the idea I want to convey, not any malicious intent) but in this case, I am saying that cherry picking invalidates the findings, as they are stated.
If the findings were framed around “it’s easier to fool people using white AI generated faces”, or something similar, I’d be on board with it. The way it sounds right now is “AI generated faces don’t have all these artifacts 99% of the time” (I’m paraphrasing A LOT, but you get what I mean.)
It’s not a reason to make it worse.
It’s trying to solve a problem that we don’t have. We don’t need any of that to be immutable.
There are NDAs, and privileged information. You might not be under an NDA, but depending on where you live you might have constraints on privileged information.
I’d be curious to see the process they decided which AI faces and which Real faces they presented. It might be in the paper, but I’m too lazy to read that when I’m 95% convinced I already know the answer.
Why would knowing every single email be seen as something positive? Nice way to have spam-heaven. The keys also don’t need to be public. If you need something THAT secretive, there are safe ways to do a permanent key exchange.
And you’re at it again!
I said what I said, and theirs is nothing vague about how you got to make choices in what you can and can’t have.
You’re the one starting to make vague statements about “submitting to their demands”, and comparing the poor to the CEO (which is totally beside any points…)
It’s quite simple: there are a billion ways to entertain yourself, some are cheaper and some are more expensive, some are worth your money and some aren’t.
These companies don’t “demand” anything. They’re offering a service for a price. If you’re unhappy about that, move on?
If you were talking about something with very few players, or in essential services, it would be a different discussion. Here we are talking about entertainment, so Netflix is in the same market as Wizards of the Coast, CD Projekt Red, Penguin Publishing, and a few hundred thousand others.
You sure like to argue against arguments I didn’t make.
If there is not enough crying to your liking with Pearl Jam though, try Muse!
Or you could act like a grown up and accept not having everything always?
If you’re on a budget, what’s wrong with subscribing for a month or two to a service, then switching to another for a few months, etc.?
They would do that, but to make it realistic, they HAVE to make them for real.
Yeah! How dare they enjoyed their time with the game!
For us it’s chili, veggie scraps broth, whole chickens, and lentil soups.
It’s not recoverable and permanently compromised if ever it is.
Also, even if someone was trying to impersonate you, you wouldn’t know it unless the recipient told you (which could also be done today with DMARCs, albeit at a domain level not an email level)
