• AI has decided you don't exist

    Recently my Twitter X account was suspended for "inauthentic
    behaviour". I can't see anything I did wrong. From what I read, these
    things are automated. Probably it is AI. It makes me wonder how long it
    will be before people find themselves booted of Whatsapp by AI? I
    suppose we already see something similar when broadband stops working
    and the AI customer service agent keeps asking security questions
    indefinately.

    Abuse of English too: inappropriate maybe, but inauthentic? IS it saying
    you're not you?

    My guess is that is what it means, and that you are trying to impersonate someone else. I've never really been all that authentic myself in the past because I have noticed that when I tell people what I really think, many of them get upset.

    I would be very happy if everyone was booted off of Twitter and Whatsapp
    and had to actually talk to one another in person again.

    Who is "they"?

    Besides, none of that is important. I lived the
    vast majority of my life just fine - arguably
    finer - without any of it save the phone. And
    even the phone was hardly a significant aspect
    of my daily existence.

    All that crap might be accurately referred to as
    "straw life/living": sure, it feels like a loss
    after a period of pretending it was important,
    but it never really was to begin with.

    Well yes, but many people are giving up phones and email for Whatsapp
    because it is free. So when the phones and the email are gone, MetaAI
    will have too much power.

    Can we keep Usenet, email, and other 20th-century tech? They're
    not curated and phony.

    Phones are being converted to VOIP, and people are using AI in their
    email, e.g. allowing Gemini to crawl all over it. It is only a matter of
    time before certain emails become 'unacceptable' by the inscrutable
    false positive method.

    It makes sense to me that smarter self-centered

    We already get that with cloudflare and similar outfits deciding that
    you're "a bot", although that's mainly an excuse to justify supporting
    only select browsers.

    It's like during the browser wars but worse, I guess.

    And StackExchange is behind a JS wall now too.
