This is huge! So many benefits for the end user. TY for sharing

Definitely huge. But not I think in a net good way.

As I said to a couple of the co-organisers of Crecimiento a few months ago, Argentinians will love you for this for the first few years, and then come to despise you.

The computer science paradigm of identity is largely incompatible with social science's understanding.

Computer science strives to make things legible to the system. It's drenched in bureaucracy. The social sciences investigate conditions for human flourishing, good mental health, cooperation, etc.

I write about this at some length here —

Many focus on the technology and the information security.

But the topic at hand is sociotechnological (focusing on the technology alone cannot work) ...

And information security is not a synonym for privacy despite the frequent conflation.

And such things lead to emergent outcomes that are undesirable.

I like Generative identity you write about, I read some of your articles the first time you shared it. It’s been a long time so I might have forgotten but I’m still not sure why you think Argentinians will come to regret using zk-powered identity system.
