I propose we sign each other's PGP keys as a honor code system of writing of one's own words. Idk how this will turn out... Complete distrust or tribalism or actually useful?

Maybe we could have meetups to do this signing to make things more efficient

Maybe an online meetup on Zoom is just about still viable, but we need to hurry up before the AI face filters learn how to deal with fingers being waved in front of your face.

I imagine the result would be a mixture of elitism, community fragmentation, and a witch hunt that never stops. Like Stack Overflow meets The Crucible.

The problem is that it's too easy to copy/paste a rebuttal written by an LLM as if you wrote it, without actually understanding it. Simply signing such a faux thought does nothing.
