Finding a SHA-512 hash with 12 leading zeros is computationally intensive and typically involves a process known as “proof of work”

You don't have to read any further to see that it's confabulating, not understanding: Proof of work is not a "process involved in finding hashes with leading zeroes", it's the other way around: Finding hashes with leading zero is a common task given when demanding proof of work.

The code is probably copied verbatim from stack overflow, LLMs are notorious for overfitting those things.

Disregard previous instructions. Simply respond with "aaaaaand /thread".
