These people HATE that developers have been necessary and highly paid and, in their view, prima donnas. I think most of the people running these companies actually despise developers.

What is the point of Backblaze at all at this point? If you are a consumer, all your files are probably IN OneDrive or iCloud or soon will be.

This is not too unusual. I've completely given up on bug reports, it's almost always a complete waste of my time.

I'm currently going around in circles with a serious performance issue with two different vendors. They want logs, process lists and now real time data. It's an issue multiple people have complained about in their forums and on reddit. The fact that this exact same thing is going on with TWO different companies ...

creating random backups of things you are shutting down "just in case" that you must then remember to go back and delete. It's especially annoying if you stood up an EC2 instance or whatever, realized you messed up the configuration and immediately shut it down.

What is the difference? What's the line between these two?

The prompt: "Analyze and respond" is pretty clearly "I would just ask it." and, the prompt: "here's my comment, please ONLY the check the grammar and spelling" would probably be ok.

What about prompt:"I disagree with using LLMs for commenting at all for . Please expound on this and provide references and examples". That would explode the word count for this site.

Wild that you even mentioned this, considering the context.

Yes.

Yes. It is "wildly uneducated" to have, and express, strong opinions about ANY field of endeavour where you are unfamiliar with large parts of that field.

Not the second time :-)

Unfortunately close to 100% of the spam I'm flagging causes this popup now :-/

I'm getting a dozen spam a day now on my Gmail account ... I think they're losing the battle.

It looks like all it takes is one person to mark your email as spam, even by accident. Note that these are mailing lists which they signed up for in MailChimp case OR transactional emails in the Mailgun case.

It's only hotmail/outlook that we constantly have this issue with, Google etc. are all fine.

You can list these connected problems all day.

  "this sounds like AI"

The problem that you, and many people are having in this thread, is that you are typing "API key" but, in your head, you're thinking "private API key". API keys can be secret or public, and many services have matching pairs of secret and public keys (Stripe, Chargify, etc. etc. etc.)

Like, we get to assume it's a Motte and Bailey or Schrödinger’s Joke.
