Yeah, today I logged into Claude on my iPhone and it asked my approval for Apple to validate that my age range was “Adult” without providing any additional information.
Why can’t this be used everywhere we are being asked to validate our age like adult websites/discord/etc?
I think I've been waiting since the 90s hoping somebody will figure out how to make this a real thing (or was it the early 2000s?)
As I recall it seemed to be just one guy, David Chaum, who did so much to show how so many of these things could work, but the rest of us have somehow managed to do very little with his ideas. What are we missing?
You're missing a drive to make billions or wield power, silly.
Of course there's always been ways to do this ethically. But the ones up top don't make money from that. And they can spend billions convincing people the only way it works is with whatever makes them money.
