This is exactly why I never do any podcasts or conferences (and it breaks my heart every time I have to say no to an invitation, especially from friends like MoneroKon). You can wear a mask for your face, use gloves to hide your hands/fingerprints on hi-res video, or even run a full AI avatar… but there’s still no good real-time solution for voice (and the AI tools aren’t quite there yet). The only things that actually work are hardware-level voice modulators (the kind used in witness/victim protection programs), but they sound ugly and unbearable outside of absolute necessity. And as the Samourai Devs, Ian Freeman, and others have historically shown: “Like an angry farmer, the state will no doubt take desperate measures at first to tether and hobble its escaping herd. It will employ covert and even violent means to restrict access to liberating technologies.”
