As generative AI makes it easier than ever to fabricate reality, we are entering the era of the "liars dividend"—a world where any piece of real evidence can be dismissed as a computer simulation. In this episode, Herman and Corn dive deep into the technical and legal frameworks struggling to preserve the truth, from the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) to the hardware-level security chips in professional cameras. They explore how cryptographic "nutrition labels" for images work, whether your smartphone can actually be trusted in court, and the growing danger of a "technology gap" that could create a two-tiered system of truth. This is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of evidence, journalism, and our shared sense of reality in 2026 and beyond.
