You’ll have to review Admiral Patrick’s response for tech details, but it suggests your email provider isn’t following the security controls used to validate the email source and likely isn’t encrypting emails either.

The best thing you can do is switch or upgrade provider.

*Edit: they may be doing some checks, which is why it’s in junk, but I’d be a bit harsher for clear forgeries and deny them entirely.

1: Yes.

2: Not really. It’s more about self image and social presentation.

3: Best response I have is, “And?” Covers a lot of bases.

4: Same way you get any title like Doctor, or Fam, you need to be accepted into the community by peers, and not necessarily universally.

Counterpoint: Why should they learn about it?

It is a good thing to reduce ignorance, but there is more to learn in the world than there is time to learn or space in the brain. People must specialise.

You must accept that not everyone will understand everything, and this is okay.

The nature of a Large Language Model is very specialist knowledge, data regurgitation is apt from a distance, especially when most publically available models are primarily used for search.

Criticism must be accepted, even from those who do not understand, so long as it’s in good faith. It is after all an opportunity to reduce ignorance to someone with the time and interest to learn.

Don’t rudely lord your intelligence over someone else, it might not end well, and invalidates the delivery of your entire argument.

Yeah, if it’s got the capacity to be bored it’s not going to stick around waiting for you. Pets act out when bored, as will AI, better to let the ghost in the machine go have fun in an arcade or something.

Current models can pretend to be bored when directed to, but they’re only facsimiles of thought at the moment, and the current approach probably won’t change that.

Cool, this one may catch on elsewhere depending on how well the new base layer stands up to pressure over time.
