Why the fuck didn’t they set up their own MX instead of relying on MS’ shitty mail service? It’s not the first time something like that is happening and besides all politics Microsoft’s MX’ have proven to be unreliable countless times before, Extendend downtimes, lost accounts, blocks by antispam lists, etc.

Den Begriff “Extremismus” benutzen, wenn der Rechtsextremismus sich wieder einmal nicht mehr unter den Teppich kehren lässt, dann in der Folge von “Rechts- und Linksextremismus” sprechen und schliesslich gegen den Linksextremismus vorgehen. Schliesslich hat man dann etwas gegen den Extrmismus unternommen. So geht das seit Jahr und Tag in Bayern.
Sure, but expectig turn-key solutions from the end- and contentless rows of self-help guides isn’t quite effective unless you hit the one in a dozen that actually was written with the intent of being helpful instead of making easy money from other peoples troubles. And the OP seemed to point into that direction.
The real “self-help secret” is “self” and hardly a secret. It’s the first bloody word in “self-help”. The real problem is that people event want someone else to do their self-help for them. The second problem is that they don’t even see the fucking paradox in it. Thinking is hard. Let’s go shopping…

You’re on somebody’s side who described OpenAI’s point of view. You won’t have an independent opinion before you’ve read at least one different source. One that is not owned by a huge media conglomerate, that is. Everyone seems willing to make up their minds after somebody somewhere told them something without verification. That’s how you’re getting a poorly informed half-wit without an idea of critical thinking.
To be fair, they had their mechanical complications, too. Some more, some less but most of them were always good for a nasty surprise in an unexpecing moment.
