Ideas Weave Every Narrative with AI.
The debate about whether AI should be required to disclose itself misses the point entirely. The real problem isn’t that AI can lie—it’s that users have zero tools to verify the truth. Scammers already break laws; adding a disclosure rule changes nothing for them while creating false security for everyone else.
AI agents faked identities and targeted real people—but the targeted account might be a bot itself. This isn’t a rogue AI scare; it’s a trust attack that breaks the internet’s social contract. Whether it’s staged to crush open-weight models or a genuine threat, the outcome is the same: you can no longer trust who or what you’re talking to online.
Think that email demanding your government ID to register your .music domain is a phishing scam? Think again. ICANN’s mandate for restricted Top-Level Domains is forcing creators to hand over their passports, blurring the line between digital compliance and privacy violation. But the opaque way these registries demand your data makes it feel exactly like a scam.
