It's been about 99% fine. I do remember last year noticing that my parent's gmail flagged (an admittedly very short) email of mine as spam, but when she went into her spam folder and told gmail it wasn't spam, all was fine from then on. I think it probably goes a long way to have SPF/DKIM/DMARC correct and doesn't hurt that it's AWS' mail servers.

Does the same behaviour manifest in Chromium?

You've mentioned some roles are fully remote - ok to apply from Australia or no? (it's absent from the extensive list of locations on the jobs)

They deprecated that one.

The firefox bit has these:

> Disables native privacy and anti-tracking features

> Disables DNS-over-HTTPS

Why?

Ok are you riding with two huge boxes containing all your work on an electric unicycle and I guess the hi-vis top means you're headed into traffic and the box-cords seem to be balancing at the halfway point of the boxes and this is too much anxiety for me. But hey, glad you optimized for minimalism on the PCB ♡

As soon as the thumbs-up started rotating and the severed wrist was revealed, it became apparent: I had never wondered where the rest of the thumbs-up person was before. But more chillingly: A thumbs-up from a person off-screen is fine, a disembodied hand wishing me apparent good-will? Not so good. It's a corpse-part!

Oh! And if one felt like solving the puzzle, it might lead to that person being mis-identified as being a bot. Which would be a perverse incentive to avoid wrecking the trap.

I'm suggesting that one should not be able to obviously detect that they're being challenged.

Eg I could respond in Pig Latin to you right now because I can see that's what you're asking, but if that particular request were masked or hidden or behind a puzzle, and you received a Pig Latin response well, maybe it's a bot (or a capture the flag sort of a person)

This whole thing was more of a shower-thought. But the trap I left behind was a link hidden in a full-stop in a deliberately acquiescent comment.

The link went to an imgur image. The image consisted of a bunch of numbers. The numbers were a simple off-by-n alphabet cipher (eg a=8, b=9...) which when decrypted, spelled out a message to the AI. Oh, and also the image looks very dark, a human might not even see the numbers.

This is all ridiculous. But I am wondering about other approaches to see if I can get a bot to bite and reveal itself.

ps: the message once decrypted, suggests that the commenter is incorrect about the thread. I am hoping this would give the bot the necessary pushback it craves to continue the conversation aggressively.
