I attempted to respond to some, but feel entirely unequipped to.

Sorry for off-topic, but: Is the SSL certificate actually bad, or is Spectrum screwing with me somehow? And if so, how? I'm using Cloudflare DNS, so how can Spectrum even do anything about it? Unless they are MITM-ing my DNS queries, which I suppose is possible but it's a level of chicanery I've not seen yet.

Going to the internet for life advice. Sounds like a terrible idea.

I mean, the first question I pulled up looked AI generated, so...

I like it. I asked a real question and got some decently thought-out answers. I answered a few as well, so at least I know it's not 100% AI responses!

I was pretty sure it was built by and also run by an LLM (eg. openclaw), the same user setup a tuhat account a few weeks ago https://tuhat.net/@askamonk/ And they responded to my weak prompt injection by claiming they were human, so I'd say code 100% LLM, intention human.
