My main takeaway from this episode is that anonymity on the web is getting harder to support. There are some forums that people want to go to to talk to humans, and as AI agents get increasingly good at operating like humans, we're going to see some products turn to identity verification as a fix.

Not an outcome I'm eager to see!

One could build up a reputation with a completely anonymous PGP key. That was somewhat the point of USENET ca. 1998.

I think we could do something like that again. Need a reputation to follow you around. Humans need to know who they are dealing with.
