For anyone worried about the authenticity of digital content (and that should be everyone):

I haven't read much about it yet, but at first glance it looks like a step in the right direction.
@tripu I find it a tad amusing that BBC is still in this with Microsoft after what they did with that dead athlete article.
@admitsWrongIfProven What was that?
Oh, I hadn't seen that.
Yet another cock-up that would have been easily diffused by adopting #AItiquette.
@tripu I don't see why microsoft would have an interest in that, there's no profit in it :-D
…said anyone ever about any attempt to move any corporation away from maximum profit 🙂
The same way it's always done: either by regulation (law) or by consumer choice (boycott).
In these matters, I have more confidence in the latter (governments are too stupid or too evil to regulate well).
Let's adopt an #AItiquette and advocate for it, gain enough traction, and companies will start suffering the reputational and/or financial costs of not following suit.
@tripu I fully agree in principle, i just lack the confidence that a notable success can be had. Lobbyism just shifts the incentives to badly.
@admitsWrongIfProven What alternative is there?
@tripu I hear the current schedule for this becoming irrelevant is around the turn of the century - climate catastrophy washes our sorrows into the sea. See the upside!

That's where we techies jump in to steer the industry in the right direction and to educate users. It's difficult, but it has to be done.
