Working alongside @JustinMezzell and @alexisohanian on the new @digg, I find myself particularly focused on what I see as the defining challenge: the battleground for authenticity.
Put simply: How do we know who's real in a world of perfect AI mimicry?
Right now, we don't. And without intervention, we're heading for a complete collapse of online credibility.
I believe the next evolution of trust goes beyond binary human verification (checkbox or not). What excites me is building systems where trust compounds through verified actions while preserving user privacy. With Zero-Knowledge Proofs, particularly zkTLS, we can authenticate claims without compromising personal data (e.g., someone cryptographically proving they own the Oura ring they're adamantly recommending in an upcoming digg comments thread).
@sama was very prescient here, laying the groundwork with World ID (@worldcoin). I'm excited to see this extended from "this is a human" to "this human's claims are verifiable."
This erosion of digital trust impacts everything we touch online, this is a big problem. If this resonates with you, I'd love to connect - we're seeking thoughtful collaborators who grasp the magnitude of what's at stake.
