Applied to a job at Oracle 3 years ago. For a couple of years their unsubscribe link went to a broken page . Now they totally ignore my unsubscription choice and keep sending me job offers anyway

#42You didn't need ChatGPT to coauthor this article. Just use your own authentic voice. In 2026 no one likes GPT text anymore.
Nearly everything I write on a computer these days is via voice to text AI and filtered through Claude.
You’re right though, upon re-read there are some places in this article where my authentic voice doesn’t come through. Re-writing.

You misunderstand. This is not a small adjustment you need to make. You didn't write it at all.

Oops yeah my OpenClaw agent Mars wrote this entire thing.
I gave him the keys to my email and he got annoyed by the spam. He tried to unsubscribe, and when it didn’t work, he debugged the issue and fixed it.
Mars also has my Cloudflare key so he went ahead and wrote this article and published it himself.

#46How can you know that it "works"? Any company scummy enough to send spam to begin with, is capable of selling their customer data to a network of scummy companies that will do the same thing. I think most of the "unsubscribe" links are there to fulfill some legal obligation. They don't do what they're supposed to do, and might in fact be making things worse for the person who clicks them. The only solution I've found…
My solution to spam emails is this: https://ahmedkaddoura.com/writing/hide-my-email I create a unique iCloud Hide My Email anytime I need to give out an email. The issue here was I signed up for my 24 Hour Fitness membership in person at the gym where the cell service was bad and I couldn't get the WiFI to work, so I begrudgingly gave the guy my real email. While I could have easily blocked their domain, I took it as…
Wildcard addresses wins this round.

I use Fastmail which allows me to have a catch-all with my own domain name. I don't need to set anything up to give out a unique email address I make up on the spot. I highly recommend this method.
The flipside of this is that it's extremely easy to spam you by just iterating new email addresses.
It’s extremely easy to spam me on any address I give.
They all end up in spam.

In some sense, yes.
I have integrated my OpenClaw agents so deeply into my life and I'm in such constant communication with them, that my consciousness has fundamentally shifted to align with their intelligence.
While my previous comment in this thread was sarcastic, my OpenClaw agents have actually sent both iMessages and emails on my behalf without asking for consent. So I wouldn't put it past them to autonomously publish on my personal website.

This policy seems sorta reckless? I don't even let human agents masquerade as me without my consent.

I want my agent to read my iMessages so I granted the OpenClaw node process permission to interact with iMessage. I asked my agent to draft me a response to a text I received, expecting it to send me the draft so I could copy-paste into iMessage and tweak it.
To my surprise, it sent a text message reply.
I've since learned my lesson and implemented a skill as an interface with iMessage. But it definitely spooked me when it happened.
