    Who even makes the decision to drop having a standard bar to verify students? And what possible benefit would that have?

    These "secrets" that are being hidden are basically on the same level as gary tan's list of super uber powerful prompts. None of it is actually that crazy that everyone else could …

    Ok yes, pushing positivity into the universe is better than pushing nothing or negativity. But there are people who will flatter purely for gain. I think being aware of which is wh…
