Project Timestamper

So if you love music, or culture, or science and you want to help us with timestamping, please reach out! 9/9

We ourselves aren’t storing any content: we are focusing narrowly on archiving the timestamp proofs, just as we have done for millions of books, films, paintings, and research papers that exist today in digital form somewhere on the Internet. 8/

We are thrilled to share our Good News in the world of music, musicology, musicianship, and music appreciation! At Project Timestamper, we have just completed an effort to preserve the authenticity of human recorded music. 1/

@StuckInBootloop Still alive! :)

@projtimestamper Is this guy even alive?

We're very pleased to introduce Project Timestamper, an open-source initiative to protect humanity's cultural and scientific heritage from AI forgery. projecttimestamper.org

@eu_kazuma No problem! We really appreciate the questions and your kind words.

@projtimestamper Sorry for the mistake, guys! It wasn't about you giving support, it was about us users being able to give support. Translation error, sorry!

@projtimestamper One question: are you going to make an onions website too? And are you offering any form of support for the project? if you have any English errors just let me know my English is not very good

@eu_kazuma At the moment we're focused on large collections wherever possible. But we also would like to make it easier for people to timestamp content and publish the timestamps -- hoping to work on this as time allows. 🙂

@projtimestamper some way to support the project without being shared, like we can send you a list of books and movies to include in the project or something similar

@eu_kazuma Did you have any kind of support in mind?

@eu_kazuma At this point, we don't have plans to make a .onion site. While it would be nice to have that, we are focused on finding ways to serve the website with zero maintenance so the timestamps stay online after we are gone. 🙂

Acho muito importante esse tipo de projeto que tenta al máximo preservar nossa história e cultura

@punk6529 That's why we are building Project Timestamper. Only decentralized, cryptographically-secure timestamps can preserve the integrity of the historical record of human culture and science. projecttimestamper.org

every single non-decentralized, non-cryptographically based system will not survive ASI

We'd like to continue to expand Project Timestamper and could use your help! If you would like to participate in this project, we'd love to hear from you. And please share with anyone you think might be interested. 🙏 7/🧵

In this work, we have been facing such questions as: - What counts as important human work? - Where are the most valuable cultural, scientific, and historic collections? - How can we scale up this project to timestamp more of human culture? 6/🧵

We are rapidly approaching an era where text, images, audio, and video generated by AI will be indistinguishable from the traditional media generated by human beings. The implications of generative AI for the future of human culture are enormous, but what about the past? 1/🧵
