@grumpybozo @jwz and don't get us started on how dnssec is untroubleshootable garbage whose main failure mode is to turn your entire domain into a sinkhole

@atax1a @jwz It is a frustration that for DKIM, DMARC, and SPF to be as trustworthy as possible, one must deploy DNSSEC correctly and defend one's domain against any threat to its reputation but all the spammers need to do is buy a cheap domain with any old garbage DNS and get a handful of records right.

@jwz @grumpybozo just one more public key in a TXT record, that'll fix email, just gotta add one more TXT record bro

@jwz The stats we collect for the #SpamAssassin project (mass-scan results from participating sites) have long shown that spammers are more consistent at making SPF, DKIM, and DMARC correct than are legitimate senders. DMARC in particular has no discernible benefit for most senders, so it is a useless signal.

Rejecting mail based solely on authentication failures of those deeply flawed authentication methods does more harm than good.

Taking a stroll through my spam folder, I saw a bunch of legitimate messages from people and companies with their own domains, that are not publishing DMARC and SPF records. Surely everyone (and by everyone I mean Google) is rejecting their mail? How do they not realize this?

Then I noticed that one of them was received *from* gmail, so their mail probably works fine so long as they only mail gmail users. But another was via Yahoo, so that doesn't track.

Also constantly annoyed by analysis that assumes the tech works as promised or will work as promised. The fact that it is unreliable and nondeterministic needs to be factored into any analysis you do. But people don’t do that because the resulting conclusion is GRIM as hell

LLMs add volatility and unpredictability to every system they touch, which makes those systems impossible to manage. An economy with pervasive LLM automation is an economy in constant chaos

Keep hearing reports of guys trusting ChatGPT’s output over experts or even actual documentation. Honestly feels like the AI Bubble’s hold over society has strengthened considerably over the past three months

This also highlights my annoyance with everybody who’s claiming that this tech will be great if every uses it responsibly. Nobody’s using it responsibly. Even the people who think they are already trust the tech much more than it warrants

are YOU a good enough artist to attempt to draw a square

Han anklagas för att vara ett säkerhetshot. Men trots att arbetsgivarens polisanmälan inte ledde någonstans har Erik Helgeson nu fått sparken från sin arbetsplats sedan 20 år tillbaka.
