@ben Same MO as "identity theft". No, my identity wasn't stolen. The bank allowed itself to be tricked into opening an account. I'm only involved because the bank's own negligence allowed it to think I was involved. They should have to compensate me for that. If they want to go after the fraudster to try to recover that, that's between them and the fraudster.

My bank emailed me "AI is changing check fraud. Here's what you can do to protect yourself."

Nonono, Mr. Banky-bank. Tell me what YOU are doing to protect me against check fraud. This is a you problem, caused by a system you designed and run. How about you don't externalize that cost onto me?

I have, since the 1980s, DESPISED any excuse like "oh sorry we got a new computer system" or "we can't do X anymore because of the computer". How you do business isn't my fucking problem. Don't give me excuses for not having your shit together.

This is the same as "we are experiencing unexpectedly high call volume." Well, that's pretty fucking poor planning on your part, then, innit? Hold times aren't long because of the forces of nature, they are because you're too fucking cheap to pay sufficient staff.

You know what doesn't ask for age verification? Well, Mastodon of course, but also old tech. Look into Usenet and IRC.

Why do people think it's okay to kick their shoes off on the plane or bus or really any public space? This isn't your apartment.
0% of the lazy-ass seeds that my wife and I planted yesterday have even bothered to sprout, let alone produce. If this behavior continues, we will be giving serious consideration to replacing them with AI.

This doesn't seem like a good road to go down

This treating a symptom, not solving the problem.
