I’ve been thinking a lot about this. And I think ontologically, truth at its core is objectively unreachable — which is fine. (This is left as an exercise for the readers of philosophy, which is a pursuit in an of itself) But I do think that humans in this current age of AI and the Internet as a whole — want to feel like other humans do exist. And they really took this photo (I know I do) I miss that, human connection - you know? So I think what’s missing is the feeling of human connection in contact as being real and I’d like to make that possible

100% we'd like to figure out a way that we can seamlessly verify the photos that are taken with Roc Camera with farcaster itself either as a mini app or just a client also - in the long run, i think it'll be like HTTPS/SSL. In the 2000s people were afraid to put their credit card numbers as raw inputs over HTTP, but once there was security, people could feel safe to buy things. similarly, maybe people won't have to verify the ZK proof every time they view the photo taken by Roc Camera, but eventually there will be some watermark, or badge that says it is real, and that's enough. A lot of it is TBD, but open to ideas
