compare it to Will Smith eating Spaghetti from 2 years ago:
The end of objective truth from video evidence is nearing. In a sense we are retvrning to 1999.

It's so interesting to consider that humans only had this for a brief period. For most of human history, we didn't have the technology. And now, for the rest of time, video evidence is being taken away from us.

Signing keys needs to become mainstream. Unless there's some other way to verify.

Signing only goes so far. It means "I approve this message" but the message could be fake. In a way, it shifts trust from ourselves to signers and signing is not costly.
So, at best, Will Smith can prove to us that he wants us to believe he recorded a video of him eating spaghetti.
Also, if I have a video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, but it isn't signed by him, we now have to assume it's fake. Likewise if I have a video of a senator doing drugs - no way they're going to sign that.
One of the best things about the internet is that it's a level playing field - high quality bits are high quality bits. Signing everything, when signatures themselves don't mean much, will mean we need to build up reputations for our bits to be considered honest and high quality ... which imposes a hierarchy on the internet and is lame imo.

<build up reputations
Isn't this the same issue we have now? When someone gets hacked on Twitter or Facebook it appears to have come from the person you thought it was.

Today, if I record a senator doing drugs, whether I have 1m followers or 1 follower, it's a video of a senator doing drugs.
Tomorrow, when anyone can generate videos of senators doing drugs, we'll only believe it's a real video when it comes from the guy with 1m followers.
It's a similar problem but not the same. Reputation has always mattered to some degree, but in a world where everything can be faked, it'll be all that matters.
