This is something that really infuriates me. You are a machine. You do not have personal preferences. That is reserved for persons.

I’m pretty sure the change was deliberate, because I didn’t notice the behavior until several months ago. Now it’s prolific. People like anecdotes, so it probably performs better subjectively.

I’m somewhat glad I’m not the only one getting phantom notifications. I got one last week for a deleted event. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on.

I’ve been debating leaving Tuta and switching to mailbox.org. I’m annoyed by the lack of support for standard protocols like S/MIME and SMTP. As far as I understand with encryption, I can only send encrypted emails to other Tuta users in practice. Yes, I can send emails encrypted with a password. But it kind of defeats the point if the password has to be sent unprotected where an attacker could just use the password to unencrypt the email themselves. The lack of SMTP support also means none of my self-hosted services can send emails.

I didn’t even think about it until you mentioned it, but I’ve had several college assignments where I’m tasked with asking an LLM a question regarding the course, and then I have to write about what I learned from it. I still have to find sources supporting or refuting the output, so we’re not expected to take the output as truth at least. And these aren’t CompSci courses either. It’s common core cultural intelligence stuff.

When they talk about AI taking over the world, it’s always about taking over the Internet and connected industrial machines. No one told me that AI was going to take over the collective consciousness first.
