I had no idea this existed on iOS (there may be an equivalent on Android), and I was very skeptical about it, but it has turned spam calls into a non-issue for me.

Note that I would be careful about using pure tones for too long. Pure tones end up focusing the energy in your cochlea towards a small area of hair cells. Since these cells don't regenerate, it may be wise to avoid overstressing them.
But if you are one of the "common kind", which is typically an insult to your hearing apparatus that damaged your cochlea, then the work from Susan Shore [2] is a reasonable explanation of what could actually be going on (genesis by the fusiform cells of the dorsal cochlear nucleus). You may be interested in checking out her publications listed in the wikipedia article quoted.

I think you are thinking of Gaby Olthuis. Her story is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzQ6kSqBOao
I still need transactional emails to go through, unless I change pharmacies, which isn't impossible to do, but has downsides that may be more painful than having to "Mark As Spam" a couple of times a week.
For the prompting to avoid "AI look and feel", I was just insistent and turned down a lot of initial ideas, guiding Claude towards something that I was OK with.
Similarly, Claude helps me with messaging here and there, but never gets it quite right: I always use the generated prose as a guide for me to remember certain points, and end up rewriting 80% of it to be "in my voice". Claude's great, but I never recognize myself in the prose it writes.
Thanks for the math suggestion: yes it's more optimal to do it that way indeed.
