I was thinking today about an Instagram or Twitter like clone that only allowed pictures taken through the app to be posted. You could use a model like the one TikTok released recently to do a depth map of the image and make sure it wasn't just a picture of a picture.

How would you bootstrap such a thing? I imagine offering a fraternity or sorority a portion of the company to get their members posting and then ad blitzing their campus and hope to spread from there.

I believe BeReal is kind of like this, with an additional time constraint.

Lapse as well. And Poparazzi before that. Hard to make money so they never seem to last long.

Please don't. We don't need more closed ecosystems and app-only technology. I don't believe that you'll be able to actually secure it so in the end we'll just have more software that doesn't respect the users and not be any better off for it

Didn’t Casey Neistat do this already?

Doesn't the Tiktok model creates a fake depth map from what the picture would be so if you fed it into a picture of a picture you'd actually just get a depth map of the original picture not a flat plane.

You'd need to verify through the actual device camera sensors.

Most of it is gone from Twitter after Swift fans started doxxing the posters involved, including posting full names, email address, education, and physical address

I got curious yesterday and had a search around. Most of it is floating around 4chan /b/. Most of it is low quality and quite obviously AI. There was one funny/cursed one with Trump that I laughed at of slightly higher photorealism.

Good use of doxxing

Is this sarcasm?

We're still talking about Photoshopped pics on the internet, for all intents and purposes.

Good to know doxxing is okay so long as it's against someone you don't like because they insulted a celebrity people have an unhealthy attachment to.

Hard to see how this isn't "rules for thee but not for me" just applied to an act that ruins people's lives. But hey, they typed in a sentence or two into a chat prompt and posted the resulting image, they must deserve it.
