If only we had some technology that could reliably execute if-then instructions.
(Recalling a time when people would say: "If only we had something [Google] that could look up an answer for that.")
- schlauerfox 4y agoThe incentives have really fallen apart in technology. You have a world of people relying on services they don't pay for because 'ads', equipment they don't own because of 'subscriptions', and middlemen between every interaction we have with each other taking a dollar and policing the discourse. Unhealthy in all respects.
- 2000UltraDeluxe 4y agoI get that it's a black box. After all, nobody wants to tell the spammers what the ingredients of their secret anti-spam sauce are. The problem is that it's obviously not working; the amount of false positives are staggering and from what I've heard they're still letting a lot of actual spam through. But, as the sibling comment mentioned, there's little to no incentive for the freemail giants to improve the situation when they're themselves offering paid services with better spam filtering.
