Poe's got enduring relevance for our era of unreliable narrations. His 1845 short story 'The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether' – set in a private mental institution – popularized the adage, "Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see."
In our era of generative AI, that needs a small update – "Believe nothing you see or hear, and only half of that over a strongly-authenticated channel from a reliable source". But the story's themes of communities-of-mental-illness and blurred boundaries between doctor and patient (or between therapy and enablement) still resonate.
Is there a risk that other projects that may be using the same cyphernet-labs/netservices.rs code, like Nym & Farcaster, have also been expecting authentication & encryption where it hasn't been happening?
And having a 0.3mg (300mcg) group - the dose many meticulous online self-experimenters have found sufficient, a mere 15% of their lowest-tested 2mg.
Would a headline "morning coffee found to cause stomach problems and anxiety" be reasonable, if the smallest dose tested was 7 cups – and that dosage fact was omitted from the attached abstract/story?
