    There’s no benefit there that would be useful to anyone. If you need a public ledger then you can just do that and skip the crypto BS

        Public ledgers predate crypto BS by decades and are not improved by cryptographic chaining between entries.

          And what about ledger that use DAG instead of blockchain, did they exist pre crypto BS?

            Giving your cryptographic chaining a pointless acronym doesn’t make it useful.

      Yea, I was talking about a public ledger where the people ruled by the government host nodes and verify that laws and other stuff decided by the government are all stored there to make it harder for politicians to lie because everyone has the truth and can verify it.

      Well something like this, I am not an expert in this, but I can imagine it having a use case there

        I am an expert in this and cryptographic chaining of a public ledger is like large language models, interesting but ultimately useless.

          I would not say that LLM are useless, just a bit overhyped

          I am way more efficient in learning to code having this text bot give me explanations e.g. what which kernel API does

            But you have to check to make sure the chatbot isn’t hallucinating the answers it gives you, so you could be even more efficient by just looking it up in the first place and skipping the extra step.

              Well, I just run the code and see if it works, in like 97% (or even more) of the time, it works as the bot said.
