  He's thinking about the internet condom idea as well. I'm still not entirely sure how to approach it, but it will be needed very soon if not now already. Just some quick thoughts: I think, as Josh suggests, it should be a classifier model (see Jev mabybe) that runs locally on your laptop/desktop and maybe through a browser extension is able to see all the text on pages that you open to decide 0-100% if it's AI generated or not. Stuff like this already exists, yes, but having this local and custom built is always a nicer alternative.

  Notes

  The power to shape a model profoundly is also the power to shape it for ill. John von Neumann remarked on this problem in 1955, writing that the useful and the harmful aspects of technology “lie everywhere so close together that it is never possible to separate the lions from the lambs.”

  Doing research is basically reading+learning and building stuff. That's it. Also walk a lot that seems to have given many important people most of their ideas.
