How is criticism of an authoritarian system jingoism?

I can kind of see regulations coming that make neurally compressed image or video data are require to have a little Ⓝ on-screen graphic in one of the corners, in addition to (not necessarily perceivable) watermarks that can make even small crops of the image identifiable as neurally generated. And that is probably the best case.

In the worst case (and more likely?), we are going to ban computational substrates large enough to perfectly forge important data altogether because it will be too easy to misuse. We‘d essentially go back to ~1960s electronics to have at least halfway functioning mechanisms of creating social trust, namely high-bandwidth personal interactions where every thought and every action has a high chance of leaving a trace in the real world and thus contributing to someone’s reputation. No blockchain and no other technology can create nearly as much trust as that without being highly prone to misuse.

They do, but at the other end.

Stolen personal information which is later exposed in a data leak can certainly kill someone. In expectation it is less likely than food poisoning, but it still seems ridiculous to downplay the gravity of all of it.

That has got to be the most fucked up thing about capitalism: Correction signals are painfully slow, delayed and weak. You can mostly only penalize a company by boycotting their products (unless they seriously break a law), but for the individual, there is often more utility in continuing buying their products than in sending a corrective signal, so the overall signal mostly vanishes except for a small, intellectual minority that can afford extremely high moral standards.

Why is that significantly slower than the specs of these SD cards (100-80 MB/s read/write)?

.

It is basically the prisoner's dilemma. The free publication platforms do not yet have prestige because few prestigious researchers publish there; but only few prestigious researchers publish on free publication platforms because they are not prestigious enough.

The only way to overcome a prisoner's dilemma is education and trust.
