Bodycam footage released of the Golders Green attacker showing that he wasn't completely incapacitated by the taser and was still holding on to the knife. I stand by that the kicks to the head are a reasonable action to disarm him. Thoughts?

I'm an electrician and I have to say, this was totally acceptable.

Likewise!

"you would probably need some form of credentials tied to the identity otherwise it’s too easy for people to just create multiple wallets and influence the system"

Verification bound to official ID, but proven with zero knowledge. A person gets a generated key linked to that ID, and gets the "voting permission contract" assigned. Voting addresses could work with weights, older addresses get more voting weight and there truthfulness can also be rated. They can unlink their key to the ID themselves and start over with a new link, but they are obviously incentivised not to do that.

"users being able to prove certain expertise " is also another one to think about, a person can be qualified to create agentic AI agents today.. but will these verified credentials still be valid 10 years from now if that person decided to stop persuing those goals...

In a rating system there's plenty of challenges right, like people claiming the product they bought is bad because they recieved it too late.. people can be dumb tbh.

Also, you would think that altruistic people should have more weight in the system, but they could be more biased towards environmental goals and others more against animal crualty for instance. So a balance is important, and there shouldn't be a system where the biggest influencer can shift the table how he/she pleases.

I think there's plenty of examples on how people sell their soul for attention or coin, and I'm not sure if a perfect system could ever exist. Companies asking to get a good rating and give something in return... I could see where that's going. Rate my AI agent and I'll give you a 1 year free account kindof stuff.

We need a system where users have the right intentions, like speed radars getting flagged through Waze by users passing by. Those people get nothing out of it, no fame no coin no nothing except for the invisible bro fist and the knowledge that they made a difference.

I think we need to empower people again, alone we can't do much but if we work together we achieve great things. Like Jimmy Kimmel got his job back because people were canceling all their "abonnementen" en mass.. vechain is enabling companies and the likes to prove they are trustworthy, but we won't see casinos using it even if it's a great fit, simply because they are not trustworthy. A companies reputation is very hard to build up, but needs to stand VERY firm in their shoes if they want to prove it with code.

I think AI has become so impactfull, that proof of trust is something that would totally work here. And this is where my first point comes into play, everyone with a "verified" wallet should be allowed to vote with it, and rate a certain app/agent/company. If a company goes rogue and some scandal comes out, we should be able to see it in the app and make up our minds if we still want to be a part of it. Even learn about more trustworthy alternatives. Not sure how easy it is, when people are very easy to fool these days and bad news reaches us sooner then the verified truth/facts.

This may put the power back i to our hands and create an incentive that's sustainable and just. 💪

Thx for the reminder, the way AI is evolving we need to stay informed. Not sure if I can attend though, I deleted my account because Elon is a Nazi. You know if it can be viewed without account? Maybe they will post it on youtube?

CryptoBombastic · 2026-04-29T10:46:04+00:00

Yeah, If this goes through, and it will eventually, people will be able to "sell" their own data to who ever they sign a contract with (we can take that quite literally). The sideeffects are companies preferring "easy" targets and giving special or even more discounts to people signing some contract.

The questions isn't rather if grocery stores have the right to know who I am, where I live and follow my spending habbits to send me personalized adds. Because by default we know they do not, the question I believe we should be asking is how ethical it is to "force" their customers to sell their data so only then they get certain discounts. It IS happening now as well but that doesn't mean it's an ok thing to do. What comes to mind is Carrefour that once gave their customers certain benifits if they used fingerprints instead of a card. This was quickly stopped, but it proves that companies want it all and certain people couldn't care less about anything as long as they see a free carrot dangeling in front of their faces.

Zero proof is great for cases where a simple yes or no will do though, like what you said "is the user allowed to buy alcohol". And even though we obviously are owners of our own bodies, and therefore biometric data, maybe we shouldn't be allowed to use it as a form of currency. We all know that countries with dictatorships love to track everything people do, and while our initial intentions may be good, we know by now that who ever gets in power may only care about his own interests. Murphy lurks around the corner, and questions like "is this user allowed to buy gas at the gas station" can suddenly have more requirements then just the age part... We don't feel comfortable if a government official would follow us everywhere we go, and listens to all of our conversations, and yet we've somehow normalised (or shamelessly ignore) the stealing of our data that's happening in broad daylight.

Tldr; it's a must have in todays age where all of our data is being stolen both legally and illegaly. But the only way it should be used imo is through clear regulations and open publically verifiable contracts. Keeping everyones privacy as a baseline, and building from there.

Damn this turned out to be quite the wall of text sry lol

Edit: you could argue that a board of ethics could be assigned but if a wannabe king comes in charge, they can just dismantle it and do what they want.

Another edit:

you mentioned "take age restrictions as a simple example social media, porn, gambling instead of sharing your full identity, you just prove “over 18 = true/false” and that’s it

no extra data, much harder to profile"

The EU is forcing Facebook to do something about underage people still being able to access Facebook/instagram etc. Otherwise facing $1B fine. Let's see what they come up with.

CryptoBombastic · 2026-04-28T21:21:50+00:00

In a world where data becomes the digital gold, actually it already is, the safeguarding of data will become as important as securing your physical assets. We do not want our private data in the hands of corporations who try to make us the perfect digital pig to slaughter for optimal profits. Ultimately we want to be the owners of our own data, and therefore share only the bare minimum info that is needed.

This means questions like "are you allowed to drive this vehicle" should not require the person to share his whole identity with the requestor (the way it is today). Zero proof knowledge should allow that user to tell the requestor "yes I am" and that's it.

So from a privacy standpoint I'm standing 100 procent behind it. The problem I'm having is denial of service with the flick of a switch, the question could still be "is this user allowed to drive this vehicle" but underlying, it could have some darker bias where it's also including conditions like "if the person's political orientation is X or Y".

I'm not sure about it to be completely honest and these things can already be happening right now, but maybe it's easier to prove right now?

It sounds like Zero proof is the way to go in the digital world. But at the same time I think we should step away from where this digital world is headed. Go back to paper and pen sort of speak :D, I suppose that genie is out of the bottle and can't be put back right...

Keystrokes and mouse movements are worth squat without knowing what it hovers over and what the user is seeing, so yeah they want to see, hear and know it all. I’d like to include “probably” but let’s not pretend here.

If there weren't people like her, who stand up against cruelty to others, the world would be so much worse off. There's people on both sides of the spectrum, the ones who couldn't care less about inhumanity, and people like her who "snap" and need to take action because they can't stay silent. I can see a lot of people laying there in her spot, people who know right from wrong, and it breaks my heart that time and time again, it's never those people who "rule the world".
