With the good ol' www dying an unfortunate dead internet theory death by drowning in AI slop, I think we need to start thinking about how to create an alternative that allows for authentic communication between actual humans without LLMs shitting it up.

The question is how.

One vague idea I've had is a system based on a web of trust [0], as used in PGP. We could bring back key signing parties and build a protocol that filters content by trust levels.

Just throwing stuff out there. Maybe anyone has a better idea?
