Ask HN: How much longer until human verification on HN is mandatory?

would be a cool idea, like a "verified" tag.

Id even pay a onetime fee like 5 USD for a reg process.

Until such time I just skip over anything with AI in the title, aside from the AskHNs.

I thought about creating great tech solutions to real problems that people face. In my explorations, I found that the biggest problem people face is the absolute tyranny of tech in the hands of sociopaths and would-be Big Brothers.

I now feel the same about AI. While there are possible liberating uses, I suspect that the BIG problem to solve will be to undo the damage AI is causing and will cause in the hands of sociopaths and would-be Big Brothers.

Heck, the administration wants to prevent the EU from liberating itself from the grip of U.S. tech giants, which have all bent the knee to our would-be Big Brothel.
