The Reddit karma system and karma farming

So if I'm not mistaken I got accused of karma farming yesterday I want to get this right.

I have to participate to earn karma so I can participate more?!? Making make sense!

Karma only shows that you spend time here and that somebody approves of what you're doing or what you have done outside of that it means nothing!

Not trust not credibility not anything. It's a machine that wants you to feed it like everything else!

Remorseful versus murderous. Are you aware of how this affect you and your personal life?

. . . It is similar to patting someone on the back versus being chastised. Telling them they can do better next time versus telling them they are stupid and should have known better than to do what they did in the first place.

It can anger a person to the point where they could commit manslaughter. But it is not really so much about the people on the outside. It shows you the strength and solidarity of the person who is responding, not the situation itself.

The criminal thought had long been seated in the mind of the person already.

This is not a new observation. James Allen said it in *As a Man Thinketh*. Lonnie Athens called it belligerency in *The Creation of Dangerous Violent Criminals*, the stage where a person has already decided they will use force before the provocation ever arrives. James Gilligan traced nearly every act of violence he witnessed back to shame, not anger, in *Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic*.

Three different bodies of work. A philosopher, a criminologist, and a psychiatrist. No shared methodology, no shared field, no reason to arrive at the same place.

It's tricky when you're responsible for people, especially in the healthcare sector, and you include AI into the infrastructure in a way that puts the livelihood of those people at risk.

One of the more recent developments did exactly that. If there's no one else speaking on it, there should be.

Not only do you have a system that takes the knowledge and know-how of the ones who were once running things and hands it over to a system that is far from perfect and known to error and fault.

We now also have a situation where, depending on how serious those failures may present themselves, the people supposedly being served are now at an even greater risk of exposure.

So what happens when the water runs out.

Just an observation.

Been seeing a lot of Kimi vs Claude takes lately.

One lowers the friction on building. More output, more movement, faster starts. The other supports structured thinking and cleaner expression. Both are genuinely useful.

But the failure point is identical regardless of which one you open.

You got to come in with a trajectory. Claude can't make up your mind for you and Kimi doesn't know where you're going.

Ran something recently that would have lived in the "someday" pile indefinitely. The overhead alone would have killed it. AI made starting feel reasonable. But the thinking still had to show up first.

That part was always yours.

Something to consider.

Emotional support versus supporting real advancement. From my experience observation and studies based on this dynamic when people don't feel emotionally supported they view it as a lack of support.

Like if somebody really cares about you and they know you got high sugar and they're trying to keep you from getting twinkies and you get mad because you really want the Twinkies but they know it's really killing you how do you deal with that.

I've been pondering this question for years I hear people a lot talk about karma you're going to get your karma but really do I hear anyone talk about the karma that they've earned for what they've done or whatever name you want to give it why is that?
