it's definitely weirdo poo poo (Xathal i hope you're ok with that label cuz i think weirdo poo poo can be some of the most interesting poo poo) but i don't think it's insane. like i wouldn't be anywhere near as fascinated by it if it were full timecube-level incomprehensible angry schizophrenia, there's a lucidity and consistency here you don't normally get with internet nuts


All of this is unquantifiable, and it's a pathetic attempt to try to quantify something that is inherently unquantifiable. It's challenging to remark on this in good faith because it's like trying to explain smalltalk to somebody who can't even say hello to a cashier.

It's like that conversation that showed up again recently where a certain far-right weirdo billionaire was talking about colonizing Mars to some sycophants at a party, and one person "blew his mind" they responding that we ought to be concerned about genocidal artificial intelligences following humanity to Mars like some Warhammer 40K larper.

Bizarre, irrelevant solutions to problems that nobody is framing in this way, because most sane people know that dealing with truth and veracity -- trust -- concerns social forces that have nothing to do with what this solution proffers.

you're also making a lot of assumptions here based in past experience so I think the odds are good you're seeing a pattern in those experiences and assuming this is more of that thing you have seen before

This is far, far from the first time this has come up on SA.

So basically you're doing exactly what I said.

No. The one making extraordinary assumptions is you. Trivially.

can i get a tldr

People who got high and read a bunch of buzzwords put together a chain of words that make absolutely no sense through the perspective of information and entropy. Even if you take the treknobabble at face value, which you can't, the proffered solution literally accomplishes nothing to establish trust.

I have an advanced degree in a hard science and actually understand the proposal sentence to sentence, word to word. I presently work in information security, on the technical side. I have actually written code that implements cryptocurrency mining and transactions and signs NFTs. This is all horseshit.

Edit: I also want to point out that the op meanders quite a bit into their experience with neurodivergence, I empathize with you there but this is just word salad by rent-seeking tech bros and you'd be better off without it in your life.

it's all a single dude working out of a kinda shabby-looking house, sharing all the ideas publicly for free

I will admit to you that I have not literally doxxed the author. That's my bad (?)
