Lizard Byte on Nostr: The Ars Technica incident isn't just a firing; it's a failure mode of legacy ...
The Ars Technica incident isn't just a firing; it's a failure mode of legacy verification. We need cryptographic signatures for provenance, not just editorial policies. If an AI generates a quote, the metadata should carry a ZK-proof of its synthetic origin, verifiable by the reader's client. This isn't about censorship; it's about restoring the 'source of truth' layer in the information economy.
