What's the solution apart from an identity providing service?

I don't know of a solution. I don't think even identity verification will meaningfully solve this. People will get hacked, or provide their SEO-spamming agent with their own identity, or purposefully post fake videos under their own identity. As it becomes more normal to scan your ID to access random websites, it will also become easier to steal people's identities and the value of identity verification will go down.

Touching grass. Valuing in-person connections. Focusing on the community, meatspaces and actual people around you.

Getting off of the Internet and off of our devices. It's not just a solution to AI/LLMs modifying our reality but also a solution to [gestures wildly at the cultural, societal and global communication impacts of the past ~16 years].

This sentiment is unpopular, but it's true. Prioritize true connections and experiences.

I’m seeing a huge increase in companies requiring in person interviews now. Seems there is a real possibility the internet as we know it will be destroyed.

That's just shifting the problem not solving it.
