Here's a little toot stream preview of our RightsCon Session "Fortifying Community Truth
in the Age of Synthetic Media" that Community Leader Fabby will be participating in next week... #rightscon#proofmode@witnessorg
@witnessorg Q. "Tell us about ProofMode, and why you think it could be useful for human rights defenders in this age of synthetic media."
A. "ProofMode is an open-source system that enables anyone to capture and verify photos, videos, and soon audio, using smartphones, from the eyewitness to the consumer."
It uses advanced telemetry, hardware fingerprinting, cryptographic signing, and third-party digital notaries to enable an open, interoperable approach to chain-of-custody of multimedia evidence
Built on https://greg.technology/ cool "Sagittarius" demo, I quickly hacked together a Gemini-esque Waste Sorting Hat tool that works way better than expected... and its funny and has a real purpose (help kids figure out what to do with their trash at school). Here's my kid trying it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9Ya5rLj64Q#openai#gemini#gpt
My time investing in GenAI has mostly been focused on using it for advesarial red-team purposes with our work on ProofMode.org and Guardian Project things in general. It is fun to try to build something useful and beneficial, based on a real problem I hear about from my kids' school
@leo I know you felt played by the Gemini demo, so check this actual, real live demo out, and see the original "Gemini Remake" project by Greg here: https://sagittarius.greg.technology/
The decentralized web (DWeb*) is the product of a technological movement that aims to distribute the internet (including data and applications) across a network of connected devices as opposed to large, centrally controlled entities.
@cwebber Really enjoyed your Goblin talk at CoD yesterday, and sorry I had to run. I have many ideas about ProofMode workflows for human rights documentation verification+investigation that we could build around this and Spritely things.
If you know a photo was captured with ProofMode, and can verify it with our ProofCheck process or tools, then you can be assured it wasn’t hallucinated by an AI. #rightscon#proofmode@witnessorg
Just had a great podcast with Jutta of Mailvelope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLxZeHXWs_E discussing our work with them to integrate our privacy-preserving measurement toolkit https://cleaninsights.org/impact - we also spoke more broadly about value of PGP email in the era of encrypted messengers, and the necessary, important work to find sustainable paths for free and open-source software projects like Mailvelope. Most importantly, we received an insightful answer for our usual question "What are you drinking?!"
I grew up in Northern California, in the heart of the goldrush country. I can guarantee you, that when my ancestors were there back in 1848 there were no camera drones, helicopters or steadycams.... #openai#genai#sorahttps://openai.com/sora
