> Email is this thing you forgot to check for a month because every time you go there it is mostly spam.
As a society, should we allow private entities to destroy valuable institutions?
We used to have a technology (email) that increased productivity and added value to individual lives. That value has been eliminated by spammers trying to cold-extract money from everyone with an email account.
Spammers killing email is an externality we shouldn't accept, similar to not accept Monsanto killing bald eagles by selling DDT.
Don't get too comfy in your chats, spammers are coming for your discords and slacks next, and that wave will be lead by LLMs.
