The whole article doesn't even contain the word 'AI' or 'LLM." There is zero explanation about why they think it's caused by an AI Meta deployed recently. The clickbait game is crazy. > We manage millions of dollars in annual Meta ad spend. Oh nvm. They're full-time clickbaiters... what else did I expect. > They set up a dedicated work account, which, by the way, is standard professional practice Standard professiona…

That's because the article is slop.

I think most big tech companies are like this and it's just going to get worse as AI adoption increases internally. 2 days ago I tried to create new gmail account and Google insisted that my phone number was used too many times. Fine, I'll pay for a new workspace account... Submit my billing information, that same that I use on other accounts but now there is an extra validation step that requires my ID and copies of…

The sad part is that you gave your information and kept trying to give them money despite all of this hassle? What is exactly you are looking for? If it's email, there is tons of providers out there who will be happy to take your money.

It's almost impossible to create a new Facebook account nowadays and I wonder if that's one of the cause of the decline of Facebook

It has been happening in other platforms too. I had a tough time creating a new LinkedIn account after deleting mine around 10 years ago. At one point one day in the new account I got banned, then I submitted my ID and got in only to be banned again within the same timespan. All the same accusations that the profile information I submitted was not “correct”, translation: I was not me according to someone else’s idea…

I wasn't going to send my driver's license to some overseas contractor... I eventually hunted down a form for submitting a notarized statement proving who I was. It's more than a bit ridiculous.

And there are many tons more providers who will be happy to take your money while promising to spam google. TFA prob ain't exactly legit, eh?

Even if it’s not, this kind of business is untenable now.

The arch nemesis of software engineering. The exceptionally exceptional exception. It doesn’t throw, it glides. It festers. It waits until production day. It rears its head from the dead. The demon with 1000 names…
