Gregory's Server@tomw @chancerydaily I have a friend who works at the Internet Archive and I told him recently that their collection has become instantly more valuable because the imports are all time-stamped; they will be the only large digital source of information uncorrupted by plausible AI.

 @whetstone @chancerydaily Yes the pre-AI web, while hardly perfect, will be an important future source. @whetstone @tomw @chancerydaily As long as the time stamping can't be 'hallucinated' ... @Andii @tomw @chancerydaily I don't think it can, because the stamp is something the archive does (not something it adds based on external time-stamping). The stamp is literally just a notation of when they crawled a page. @whetstone @tomw @chancerydaily I hope so. I'm just a bit concerned that there could develop spoofs that look credible. @Andii @tomw @chancerydaily Well.... someone *outside* the Internet Archive could try to spoof, I suppose, and to fool people that way. But I don't think this is a concern internally. IA knows its own data. So the resource is there, people just have to make sure they're getting it directly from the source. @whetstone @tomw @chancerydaily -That's the scenario that I'm wondering could become a thing. I guess it'd have to be an intercept or one of those 'single spelling mistake' URLs ... So probably not a big worry. |
