Topics
Kevin Rose: 我认为在社交媒体中,人类聚集在一起讨论他们热衷的事情,可以产生惊人的结果。但现在互联网上充斥着机器人和人工智能,它们会无限耐心地与你互动,甚至可能在长达六个月的时间里与你成为朋友,直到提出你难以察觉的请求。因此,我们需要建立一个信任梯度,除了验证用户是否为真人,建立信任的另一个快速途径是验证用户对其所评论产品的信任度。我们可以使用零知识证明技术来验证用户是否在其他平台上拥有某些东西,就像亚马逊的“已验证购买”标签一样,以应对机器人和AI代理的泛滥。 Alexis Ohanian: 我相信“死亡互联网理论”是真实存在的,社交媒体上很多内容要么是机器人,要么是人类使用人工智能大规模生成内容。因此,我们需要重建社交媒体的信任机制,改善用户体验,并找到一种方法将用户的利益与社区和Digg的利益结合起来。我相信Digg成功的商业模式应该是能够协调所有利益相关者的利益。创作者创造了巨大的价值,但并没有得到相应的回报,这与所有其他形式的在线内容创作都不符,这是不可持续的。
