<p>That’s the beauty of this design, you only seed what you share. If something is not worth seeding, you don’t share it. You are only responsible for the seed you selected to reseed. That also acts as a verifier in case someone edits the comment later on. You put an id based on the timestamp and every user uses a signature that allows others to verify original source. The client could theoretically auto trust certain signatures if it is proven to be from a trusted user.</p>

<p>The misunderstanding the user comes down to understanding how the user prompts and what type of responses the user gets in return. I’m wondering if for anything code the llm could have an interrupter that it would first read what the user wrote and translate it to proper sentence structure and the return a truer value. I think the llm is having an understanding issue because everyone has a unique signature in how they explain something. That signature operates like a personal language of the user as to which most of us will run through different scenarios to come up with a conclusion from our personal signature/language in which we conduct ourselves. And since llms are gamed to get to the answer faster using less tokens it probably picks the average high level signature that can be used for multiple users.</p>

<p>having met some people wrapped up in drugs, i can tell you that sometimes people who sell drugs are doing it to support a habit, i’ve met people who started out on prescription pain pills that they got prescribed from their doctor due to a surgery.<p>the pills were then eventually stopped and they got desperate because for many it was the first time in their life that they felt happy, many were in extreme poverty or had mental illness before getting hooked to prescription drugs, they got locked up for something dumb or less offensive, the system put them on probation, where it made them toxic to employeers, so they turned to selling because they were already doomed as it was, the drug war just reinforces a separate class of people.<p>i don’t agree with people using drugs like heroin but, ive met many people who actually said that oxytocin and oxycoden is way better than heroin, and that they prefer it.<p>and i am almost certain that more people die from prescription opiates a year than heroin yet, whenever someone mentions it, the whole conversation disappears with hush money. the drug war really seems like a tax on the most vulnerable in which was fueled by big pharma and paid by the average worker (us).<p>johnson and johnson got called out on it and got a tiny slap on the hand, and later on was trusted enough to make a vaccine. which i am pretty sure johnson and johnson also had a baby powder lawsuit over their baby powder giving newborns cancer, but the problem is, the accountability is only on the people who cannot afford to pay the bill, the real criminals work for these companies, own these companies, lobby for these companies and or pass laws for profit at the expense of a healthy society.<p>it’s just weird, we lock up the poor but don’t punish the source. it’s legal patchwork, but i know some people on here probably work for someone like johnson and johnson and nobody wants to bite the hand that feeds them.<p>the system here in the states needs to be fixed. it doesn’t have to be law based but it definitely has to have a better framework than what we have going on right now.</p>

<p>this is so true! my brother started learning to code later on in life, i knew he looked up to me but also, he knew he could ask me for help whenever and i helped him as best as i could, but i get busy working on projects and cannot always answer a text message or phone call. i would see his message later on in the day and listen/read his messages and it would start out asking for help and about the 2nd or 3rd and sometimes 4th message he would have it figured out and i was happy about that because he did what i think is the most important thing when it comes to long term mastery of any skill<p>he figured it out on his own or was at least was able to recall the knowledge from within. if i would have took over his keyboard he wouldn’t have imprinted that as fast, i heard this saying once and it’s encouraging for others to hear/read as well so i’ll say it<p>“when you are confused, don’t be upset at yourself, it is a good sign. confusion means you thinking about something new or from a different perspective, and that means you are learning”<p>it’s a humbling experience, i get it, but not a sign you will never understand something, in fact, confusion is the first sign that you are getting it. be encouraged</p>

<p>another good argument for people from low income families who may may have trouble staying in college due to subpar living conditions which affect their grades.<p>i’ve read people’s comments on some other forums (not here) blaming poor people for not studying or trying hard enough and that is the reason they are poor. which is obviously crazy to think that about everyone who comes from the lower class is lazy or not trying hard enough.<p>i am thinking about a lot commuters, who live at home because they can’t afford a dorm or an off campus apartment. i’ve met many people who would just stop going to college or lose multiple days only to find out the only car in the family broke and that persons grades were hurting so they later on ended up dropping out.<p>always good to understand where people may be coming from</p>

<p>i know it’s sad, people will lash out others due to fear. i think it’s been extremely irresponsible of our leaders and honestly more so the media than anything. obviously not all media but especially some subs of reddit are laughing at people who have died. yeah most people can probably separate themselves from the information on reddit and not act on it, but there are plenty of people out there who aren’t as bright, who may take that information on reddit and use it to harm people thinking they are somehow justified in doing so. reports like this keep surfacing and it’s starting to show people that they really took the wrong approach about how they treated people. but my parents said stuff like this happened towards the gay community during the aids crisis. a lot of queer people were targeted more so during that time by people who justified their actions because of the toxic or misinformed rhetoric that was going on at the time.<p>i know it sounds cheesy but our words really do have power, we say things and they don’t always just get heard, they can be understood and acted upon or misunderstood and acted upon, good and bad. we’ve witnessed it before, sure the atmosphere was ripe during certain times, where a voice came forward and got people to march with them. good and bad. there’s a reason why oral traditions were and ancient text have talked about words having power. because it’s true. words have power.</p>

<p>unfortunately you can still get covid or a variant of it. there is a small reduction in your chances which is better that nothing but the more we are learning about the virus and our vaccines we are still seeing a decent amount of deaths from those of us who have been vaccinated, my brother in law’s uncle died after he got his second shot, he was otherwise healthy. we don’t know if it was a coincidence but, still something to consider. especially with this report. it’s best for those of us who are comprised to still be very careful until we figure it all out or just have to accept it, which is sad but hoping for the best</p>

<p>it’s kind of disturbing, what about pair bonding? imprinting stuff like that at a young age, also will people grow cold towards these people or treat them as subhuman one day? i know this sounds negative but i worry that this will lead to some type of genetic war eventually.<p>it sounds sci-fi’ish/black mirror but honestly this seems like it will eventually happen, given how terrible some people treat others purely based on their eye color, height, skin tone etc. or what’s more, will this create people so perfect or beautiful that natural humans decide to worship them?<p>it already happens with celebrities. what if one of these people end up being extremely handsome and but extremely deceptive, like hilter meets [insert attractive person here], or add to that highly intelligent as well. people already have followed cult leaders for their charisma and honesty it doesn’t seem like society has changed enough to not do any of these things. for example this year/last year and the year prior was a already a good sample size of the madness that people are okay with being. anyways something for all of us to think about.</p>
