      This is an idiom to prove you had a particular text file at a particular timestamp. I am socially constrained from publishing this text file. One month from today, one of two things will have happened:

          1) I am materially wrong about the most consequential thing I've had to have a view on in 15 years. You should probably degrade your estimate of my ability to think through complex problems. 2) We need a data point to couner "Nobody could possibly have seen this coming."

          Wouldn’t you need to publish the timestamp and file length to verify?

          No; SHA512 hashes arbitrary data. In this case, it is text, not inclusive of file metadata. The trustable timestamp is the one on the tweet.

          What if you are right? What behaviours would that change now and how would this information benefit others?

          There's a trick where I make a bet and then only reveal positive outcomes to coax someone to following my lead. Speak truth and have courage to be no-one :) "who is the true person of no rank"? :)

          Ok I have run gpt-4 on all your available output and most of what you’ve probably read and discovered that your mind has only 470KB of effective entropy which made the search space of texts possibly generated by you small enough to produce a hash collision and ... oh f*ck
