I'm sorry you feel this way. I don't think I have interacted with you, and hope that you don't feel I have treated you this way.

Looking at the rest of your post, I don't think you participating in the forum is a positive experience for you. As such, I think you probably would be better off if you did not continue participating here.

I think theres a problem with your script. The output is showing that everyone's trust is neutral.

What nonsense.

Hamas started the war on December 7, 2023, when it specifically targeted Israeli civilians. Israel targets military targets, but Hamas uses civilians as human shields in order to increase Gazian civilian casualties from the war.  Israel warns civilians before targeting military targets, which sometimes results in the military targets moving away, and the civilians often ignore the warnings in order to attempt to dissuade Israel from following through on the targeting of the military targets (in which case, the civilians are no longer civilians).

Further, Israel is not allowing its enemy to cross its border, but it has nothing to do with restrictions on civilians crossing other borders, for example, the border that Gaza shares with Egypt. Egypt does not allow people of Gaza to cross its border because a very large percentage of the Gazan people are extremists and terrorists.

In summary, the deaths of civilians in Gaza are the direct result of actions by Hamas.

Most LLMs provide a disclaimer that responses may contain mistakes or information that is not up to date.

Some LLM products, including grok will use previous chat histories as the basis for future responses. I'm not sure if grok specifically treats information in previous chats as the ground truth or not.

Also, a LLM is something that predicts the next token. which could be the next word or character. I am not aware of loycev having any connection to bpip (maybe this was something that was part of this 'test'). So if LoyceV was being discussed in the current conversation about data-related bitcointalk projects, this may have been the cause of the problem. I tried asking grok who the creator of bpip was, and it said that the information was unknown, and when I followed up asking about the footer clearly giving someone credit for creating the project, it claimed this footer did not exist, even though I can clearly see it when I access bpip.org.

I might consider bpip to be a 'niche' topic that has very few sources.

Another potential factor is the fact that LLMs are trained to favor more recent information, and the project being transferred from one person to another may be confusing when favoring more recent information.

Another thing to note -- I would typically consider 'misinformation' to be something that is intentionally incorrect. I don't think grok is intentionally providing inaccurate information. I think it's more likely it is making a mistake.

Happy birthday Hhampuz. I hope you had a great day and will have a great year!

Transactions are included in the blockchain in sets. Each block will confirm a set of transactions, and the block will include transactions in the order they choose.

It is also not guaranteed that a transaction you broadcast will be included in the next block found.

So a transaction could be broadcast from address A to address B at a given time, you could broadcast a transaction to address B shortly thereafter, and the order of the two transactions will be up to whoever finds the next block.

You could potentially include a very large transaction fee to your transaction to have an increased probability that your transaction will be included in the very next block, potentially higher in the next block than the transaction from address A.

But realistically, many will see that all transactions confirmed in block x as all being solidified at the same time.

Are those quotes real? If they are not, it is a strong argument against using AI to post.

IMO, you should only use AI if the output is something that is interesting and/or useful to other forum members. Posting make-up quotes or made-up information is nothing other than spam.

Your resistance to using AI to help with your projects is understandable, and its totally used by you, so it is entirely your choice.

I might suggest this: try using AI to make a clone of loyce.club that uses a database. It might take a little bit of back and forth with the agent to get exactly what you want. The costs associated with running the clone will be a small fraction of your current project.

To build confidence, you can ask the assistant for an explanation about what the code does. You can also have an assistant for guidance on how to learn how to create SQL queries, and. how to code in the various languages your clone will use.

If you decide against this, fair enough -- I was just making a suggestion.

Oh absolutely. But most programmers can review the produced code by an assistant and understand what it does.

With the Secretary-General calling Trump "daddy", I am looking forward to the 'no daddies' protests.

I agree that the code produced by AI is often messy and won't always cover all edge cases. It is a good start, though. For someone like Loyce, who has no other way to create something, it provides a great way to be able to create something he otherwise would be unable to create.

Third-party candidates are not realistically viable in the United States. They will generally act as a spoiler and will take votes away from one of the two major party candidates. Ross Perot is why Clinton was elected in 1992 (and reelected).

It is possible for the government to save some money from waste and fraud (there is a lot of this), however, the actual savings from this is limited. The only way to substantially reduce the deficit is via entitlement reforms.

Most of the rest of what is in the OP is nonsense bs.

This is probably the best solution. Anyone who wants to participate can join the Discord Server. Anyone who doesn't want this feature can not join.

Re: topic: very

You should be careful when dealing with strangers on the internet when the currency involved (crypto) cannot be reversed.

Basically, you need to learn two things about databases:
- how to load a record (or a batch of records) into a database
- how to query a database

When you scrape data, you would load data into your database, and when someone visits loyce.club, the backend of your website should query the database and render a template based on the data. You would want to be sure that your backend doesn't allow for SQL injection attacks, but this is fairly simple to guard against.

I think this is probably something you could vibe code fairly easily with ChatGPT, or Claude.

This will also make adding information to each page, or changing the layout of a page as simple as making a change to a single template file.

Unless this has changed, those bans are only from "autobans" that are done to newbie (?) accounts and temp bans will not be shown in hte mod log.

IIRC, the fact that someone is banned is not public because theymos doens't want people potentially trying to impersonate banned users to make it look like they are evading a ban.

Also, banned users can still log in (to my knowledge), and read the forum, but they cannot post.

I am not saying the response you received was inaccurate or biased, but any chatbot is only as good as how it is trained. Most AI companies will advertise themselves as being neutral, however, as with many tech companies, this is simply not the case. One example I would provide would be that of twitter pre-Musk takeover. Facebook and google are two other good examples.

According to the report made by theymos post the 2013 hack, SMF 1.x prohibits the publishing of the source code. So it looks like this is not going to be an option. (in addition to the reasons I mentioned previously)

BitcoinTalk is using a modified version of SMF, which is open-source. Theymos (and others, at his direction) have made modifications to the code, mostly that are specific to the forum, the merit system for example. I suspect that theymos is weary of releasing the full source code of the forum out of fear that security issues will be found, and exploited (that might otherwise not be found).

Re the topic, I agree with Mitchell, the words in the OP do not sound natural.

If this was written by AI, you either used a very bad one, or used a really strange prompt, or perhaps a unique prompt with the goal of hiding your AI use. You also may have changed some words in the response in order to "fool" AI detectors. I will even go as far as to speculate that the text in the OP will pass many AI detectors.

Regardless, the text in the OP is not of high value. I have advocated before that normal forum rules should apply when dealing with AI-created posts. I think the OP is probably a good example as to why..

I generally think that tariffs are not a positive thing to implement. Tariffs hinder trade by taxing trade between two countries.

With that being said, many other countries impose tariffs and non-tariff barriers to import trade from the US to their countries. Theft of IP and a mandate that a JV with 51% Chinese ownership are two of the worst non-tariff barriers that I can think of. But other countries are also guilty. Excessive regulation against US companies and government subsidies for domestic industries comes to mind for what many European countries engage in. So the status quo is not really free trade, it is an uneven playing field with many non-tariff trading barriers imposed on the US, and few imposed by the US on other countries.

There is also the issue of national security. In a war, or a time of national emergency, countries will prioritize the defense of their own country ahead of others when it comes to allocating supplies produced by its own domestic industry. This was somewhat highlighted by covid in 2020 especially. So you really want your own domestic industry to exist and have the ability to ramp up production for things you will need in a war.
