Ask A Monk – A digital wilderness for thoughts with no immediate answer

I get "User not found. Please ask a question first." when trying to answer. Why would I have to ask another question first?

		Being cynical, I'd think probably to squeeze out some personal data first. Best let the questions remain unanswered.

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

And they responded to my weak prompt injection by claiming they were human, so I'd say code 100% LLM, intention human.

There was an app that did this, early in the pandemic I believe. I can’t remember the name. You would send anonymous letters into the void and someone else would respond anonymously. Very well-designed app, where I had several surprisingly meaningful and heartwarming exchanges. I think it shut down after a few weeks due to moderation difficulties though.

EDIT: Found it - https://gentle.app

Wonderful! Reminds me of a site I once had, like before Twitter, which was dead simple. One input box and two buttons; one to post and one to search - no filter :D It got so full of spam, I closed it and lost the domain after a while.

I still miss it.

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 hoping for Douglas Adams’ Electric Monk, but this seems fun too.

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

		Indeed! It gets existential real quick.

Did you build this with AI?

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

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.

		Looks fine to me. SHA 256 fingerprint A0:84:61:B9:2F:87:20:2B:05:E6:9C:A1:99:EC:BB:FE:01:7B:AA:97:56:1F:C8:73:CA:46:B5:A8:32:04:82:15

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