Like Reddit, you mean? Or with some extra authentication mechanism?

hahaha god Reddit is fucking full of people who are clearly using AI to write or edit their posts, I get so many people trying to glaze me like ChatGPT does now and it's so fucking creepy.

Yeah, that's why I asked to get clarity on what exactly they meant with accounts.

Sounds about right. Prove you're a real human through some sort of identification verification process. Probably would lead to better conversations, especially if each person could have only one account.

They typical Instagram and Facebook comment section proves this wrong lol

I am quite skeptical it would help. The majority of users on forums already aren't AI, and from my personal experience in the last couple decades on many different forums, there's already an abundance of egotistical, dogmatic god complexes around to make the experience insufferable enough already.

And there also adversaries who are paid to post. Proper reputation system is needed to fight that.

And you can find a curated list of these people on r/LinkedInLunatics, though I'm not sure the curation is necessary as it seems like pretty much the _entirety_ of LinkedIn posts are the kind that make you question whether the poster is human.

There's marketing and building a personal brand, and then there's whatever the heck LinkedIn in 2025 is...

Please help translate the memes today for my gray hairs. I wound down my LI account around 2016 because it was 2-3 degrees to everyone with zero human-to-human I knew messaging. What has MS turned it into, a substack for business consultants and e-book merchants or something else?

They turned it into Facebook for self congratulating executives and wanna be temporarily embarrassed millionaire “thought leaders”. It’s insufferable and fuels capitalist cynicism like nothing else.

> Prove you're a real human

Ah, so Worldcoin then?

New AI service idea: this human doesn't exist, complete with plausible fictional ids.

uh... for security awareness.
