Well like I said a lot of the time it's run by volunteers. Think like Reddit moderators and then their behavior makes a certain amount of sense. Not saying that is good but these companies typically open source volunteer driven companies and so sometimes Professional Standards are just not there.

Sucks but I don't see anybody else trying to run a Spamhause you know what I mean

    Yeah these companies are notoriously hard to deal with. A lot of the time they're also volunteer run. To be fair these are companies that deal with Spam providers every day bitching at them about how they can't blast people with mail but they are less than friendly when you have to engage with them even from a professional standpoint. Even if you work with the company that has a large reputation and good professional behavior. These companies do not care.

    A CTO I worked for accidentally said something that insulted one of these guys by implying that we "accidentally" got on the spam list. They responded by leaving us on the spam list for the entirety of the refresh period ( these lists will automatically refresh themselves to see if you're still breaking their policies every so often). Turns out depending on the block list you can get locked out of services like LinkedIn so we lost access to our LinkedIn for like 14 days while we waited for the refresh period to run out.

    In hindsight it's pretty funny to be explained to the CTO that we accidentally insulted some dude in the Netherlands and now he's punishing Us by making us stay on a block list

    Just make sure whatever resources you spin up you're spitting down. This stuff though tends to happen when people accidentally let a a script that creates and destroys instances run over the weekend and it didn't appropriately clean up instances for you...

    Or you thought you would try your hand at training in llm and then realized you spent way too much money on the infrastructure and resources

    People already think chatGPT is a general AI. We need more articles like this showing is ineffectiveness at being intelligent. Besides it helps find a limitations of this technology so that we can hopefully use it to argue against every single place

    Articles like this are good because it exposes the flaws with the ai and that it can't be trusted with complex multi step tasks.

    Helps people see that think AI is close to a human that its not and its missing critical functionality
