If you’re tired of your inbox being bogged down by unwanted messages, it’s time to take a stand. Follow some of the steps we’ve outlined for the most effective ways to stem the flow of spam and regain control of your inbox. You may not be able to stop all spam due to ever-changing email addresses, but you can regulate the amount in your inbox by taking other measures. How do I eliminate spam emails from senders that keep changing their addresses? Sadly, you can’t block spam that comes from ever-changing email addresses. The scenario is the same as with text messaging. Why am I suddenly getting a lot of spam emails? Spammers buy bulk email addresses from particular providers to add them to their mailing lists. If you’ve noted a sudden increase in spam emails landing in your account, there’s a high chance that your address was part of a list recently sold to one or more scammers.

To present a meta-level reflection, the example that comes to my mind is that many parts of writing this dissertation have been neither pleasant nor delightful, but instead challenging and even frustrating. However, this dissertation is nonetheless an experience I would not trade for something easier. What does it look like to design for that kind of experience? To discuss this, I will return to IndieWeb’s modularity. Is this good UX? If one’s view is that good UX entails a positive emotional experience while using a product, then this is clearly not good UX for everyone. Chapter 6 included several accounts where IndieWeb’s modularity and the visibility of its plumbing was a source of confusion and discouragement to certain people. Yet, if designing for good developer experience, modularity and exposed plumbing are advantageous. Perhaps a more significant ramification of modularity, especially accompanied with its principle of plurality, is that IndieWeb is never presented as a stable technical artifact. I specify presented as stable here because stabilization in corporate platforms, too, is always temporary (Humphreys 2005). Probably the clearest example that IndieWeb’s stabilization is impermanent was in Chapter 7’s description of Bridgy’s breakdown and repair due to corporate API changes.

But there’s a point where it’s unambiguously smarter than you, including like the spark of creativity, being able to deduce things quickly rather than with tons and tons of extra evidence, strategy, cunning, modeling people, figuring out how to manipulate people. GARY: So, let’s stipulate, Eliezer, that we’re going to get to machines that can do all of that. And then the question is, what are they going to do? Is it a certainty that they will make our annihilation part of their business? Is it a possibility? Is it an unlikely possibility? I think your view is that it’s a certainty. I’ve never really understood that part. ELIEZER: It’s a certainty on the present tech, is the way I would put it. Like, if that happened tomorrow, then you know, modulo Cromwell’s Rule, never say certain. My probability is like yes, modulo like the chance that my model is somehow just completely mistaken.

But, in fact, it is your subject line that has to do the heavy lifting! It is your subject line that has to get someone to open the email! And it may well be your subject line that is causing people to mistake your email for spam. But what about that email that you can’t really tell by the subject, you know, the emails that you actually have to open before you realize that they are spam? How many times have you opened an email spammer Bot reddit and instantly decided that it was spam, without actually reading the words? How did you do that? When you open an email and your gut instinct whispers (or maybe even screams) “This may be spam” before you even read a single word, what is it that causes you to have that reaction? It’s the visual cues, right? Maybe there are lots of links or lots of graphics, or both, with relatively little text.
