There's a high chance the government is attempting to influence public opinion by using botted comments, which is easier than ever to pull off.

Seems like these articles and the subsequent top replies saying

"use a token from the device so the ID never leaves, this is way better right!"

This is the true objective. They actually want DEVICE based ID.

I want LESS things that are tied to me financially and legally to be stolen when(not if) these services and my device are compromised.

This is what the LLMs are actually good for.

		I'm inclined to agree. I also think the FUD they've succeeded in creating around the use of LLMs for code generation (there's a portion of the management class that seems to genuinely believe that Claude Code is AGI) is the greatest marketing operation of our lifetimes.

Yeah, I've been saying for years that LLMs are a technology that basically unlock three major new technologies:

1. Automatic shaping of online community discussions (social media, bots, etc)

2. Automatic datamining, manipulating and reacting to all digitally communicated conversations (think dropping calls or MITM manipulation of conversations between organizers of a rival poltical party in swing districts proir to an election, etc. CointelPro as a service)

3. Giving users a new UI (speech) with which they can communicate with computer applications

If you dig into the CEO of the The Age Verification Providers Association (AVPA), he has spent years going out of his way to spam pro-age verification propaganda across random sites like Techdirt and Michael Geist's blog.

Its not unreasonable to assume that he would seek to automate his bullshit.

See here for some examples:

Unless you live in North Korea, no there is not. This is pure conspiracy theory.
