Oh goody. I’ve been wanting to use this since my slashdot days… today is my first chance!
Your post advocates a [x] technical [ ] legislative [ ] market-based [ ] vigilante approach to fighting (ML-generated) spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. [One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.] [ ] Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses [ ] Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected [ ] No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money [ ] It is defenseless against brute force attacks [ ] It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it [ ] Users of email will not put up with it [x] Microsoft will not put up with it [ ] The police will not put up with it [x] Requires too much cooperation from spammers [x] Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once [ ] Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers [ ] Spammers don't care about invalid addresses in their lists [ ] Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business Specifically, your plan fails to account for [ ] Laws expressly prohibiting it [x] Lack of centrally controlling authority for email^W ML algorithms [ ] Open relays in foreign countries [ ] Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses [x] Asshats [ ] Jurisdictional problems [ ] Unpopularity of weird new taxes [ ] Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money [ ] Huge existing software investment in SMTP [ ] Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack [ ] Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email [ ] Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes [x] Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches [x] Extreme profitability of spam [ ] Joe jobs and/or identity theft [ ] Technically illiterate politicians [ ] Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers [x] Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves [ ] Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering [x] Outlook and the following philosophical objections may also apply: [ ] Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical [ ] Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable [ ] SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation [ ] Blacklists suck [ ] Whitelists suck [ ] We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored [ ] Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud [ ] Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks [ ] Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually [ ] Sending email should be free [x] Why should we have to trust you and your servers? [ ] Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses [x] Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem [ ] Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome [ ] I don't want the government reading my email [ ] Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough Furthermore, this is what I think about you: [x] Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work. [ ] This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it. [ ] Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down! ````___`Oh, do me next, do me. Open source adversarial models trained to detect and actively label things which it detects as belonging to AI. Probably would end up looking like a browser extension or something. Ublock, but for AI, basically.
