My conspiracy theory was this this was a deliberate attempt to force users to actually start using Teams instead of email.

The problem with this ploy is that even email that doesn’t work is more useful than Teams.

    The problem with SMTP is that it is too simple. There is a complete lack of security, so different implementations have had layers added on top to harden them, which adds to the complexity. Not all layers are standardised or compatible, which means that what should be relatively simple becomes an untenable mess.

    It isn’t something that can be proprietarised easily so companies need to also add their own proprietary layers in order to monetise their product, which adds more untenable.

    If your “senior network engineer” is more concerned about your SMTP server becoming a SPAM relay than your product being usable for its intended purpose, which is why it is still down.

    I reckon Jenson had a dead-man-switch built into all the Nvidia hardware.

    Now that he has been fired, all the AI bullshit scams will collapse and the bubble will burst.

    Completely unfounded Conspiracy Theory; Jenson Huong had a dead-man’s switch in all Nvidia GPUs which will cause the failure of all LLMs globally when he is fired.

    MS Outlook being down is just the beginning of the end of the AI Bubble.

    The whole point of using LLMs instead of actual humans is to eliminate accountability. By these laws being introduced making LLM operators accountable for their searches, it removes a lot of what makes them appealing no bad actors.

    They don’t see it as Animal Cruelty. That said, they don’t see bashing human people who are different to them as Cruelty either.

    Also, because they don’t understand maths, probability and the Law of Very Large Numbers.

    I have heard unsubstantiated scuttlebutt that her community knew she was a bit funny.

    If only they had been able to get her the help she needed beforehand.

    The help society now needs is retribution and being made an example off.

    The problem is, being made an example of is not the deterrent normies think it is. The publicity and exposure is what some sociopaths thrive on.

    This is by design. The more “crime”, the more angry Victorians, The more angry Victorians, the more easily swayed by public opinion.

    The crime numbers don’t need to be based on local information or facts, they just needs to be publicised.

    Also please note that these places run on Diesel Generators.

    The reason truckies can’t afford to get fresh produce onto supermarket shelves is because all the diesel is being snapped up by these arseholes. The price of diesel has nothing to do with Iran and everything to do with Techbros. (By “nothing”, I mean very little. The techbros are keeping the Hormuz situation at a boil as a scapegoat.)

    It doesn’t take much to break their engagement.

    My brother was watching LLM-generated videos that were engineered specifically for this purpose; a few days ago I called him out on all the negativity in the videos he was watching, he got angry and started searching through the recommendations for anything positive to watch and only found celebrity videos.

    Two days later, all the negative GenBS videos were gone and he was watching a narrated science video,

    Hopefully the new Algorithm laws come out soon. Hopefully they become distracted by one or the other to be successful.

    I think the Algorithm laws would be a bigger win for society. The right for self-determinism would be a great boon for individuals who don’t want to be bombarded with GenBS or force-fed garbage.
