Even if your content is strong and the recipient expressly gave you permission to contact them, they may still decide
to mark your email as spam as a way to clean up a cluttered
inbox. They may also have forgotten why they subscribed to your list in the
first place, or simply made a mistake. Unfortunately, if enough of your messages get flagged by users,
it can cause spam filters to flag your address and start sending
your mail to spam automatically. This means your messages may
end up looking like spam, even to users who haven’t explicitly flagged you in the past.
This is especially likely in Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and other services with heavily AI-driven algorithms.
Once the email ships, there’s not much you can do to prevent someone from marking your
emails as spam. What you can do is make sure your content is top-notch,
and that you follow other best practices to avoid having your email perceived as spam by
users.
Now, in Eliezer’s worldview, that still would be woefully insufficient,
surely. We would still all be dead. But you know, maybe in your worldview - I’m not even sure how much daylight there is.
I mean, you have a very, I think, historically striking situation where
the heads of all, or almost all, of the major AI organizations are agreeing and
saying, “Please regulate us. Yes, this is dangerous.
GARY: I thought it was really striking. In fact, I talked to
Sam just before the hearing started. And I had just proposed an International Agency for AI.
I wasn’t the first person ever, but I pushed it in my TED Talk and an Economist op-ed a few weeks before.
And Sam said to me, “I like that idea.” And I said, “Tell them.
Tell the Senate.” And he did, and it kind
of astonished me that he did. I mean, we’ve had some friction between the two of us in the past, but he even attributed the idea
to me.
Email bombing is cheap and easy to carry out. Someone can even hire out a service to do it for them that is virtually untraceable.
A quick search on Twitter shows several services willing to
do a bad actor’s bidding. To give you an idea of how cheap it is, SMS
bombing or email bombing costs around one to two
dollars a day, whereas a 30-day long troll - which consists a combination of SMS bombing and email
bombing- only costs 30 dollars. Dr. Filippo Menczer, Professor of
Informatics and Computer Science Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research at
Indiana University’s Network Science Institute, has been studying the phenomena
of email bombing since 2003. In a cyber sense, 2003 is
the stone age, so email bombing’s staying power is impressive.
“We first wrote about this attack in 2003, but
the final paper was not published until 2010. Honestly, I do not know how uncommon it is for attacks discussed in academic papers to be deployed in the real world several years later,” Menczer says.
For example, providing a subscriber Preference Center gives your audience a portal to update
their communication preferences; it allows subscribers to choose
what types of emails they want to receive, how often they want to
receive them and the opportunity to opt-out from your
messages. Yet, you can also derive this information from Progressive Profiling and analysis of their individual
behavior within an email or series. Send frequency should be
based on gauging how frequently your audience interacts with your
emails. If you are sending too frequently, you may see a drop in your open rates.
There is such a thing as sending too many emails, and your subscribers may not want to regularly
receive messages that aren’t directly relevant to them.
The content provided within the email is just as important
as the infrastructure and strategy behind it.
From creating compelling subject lines that drive opens to using responsive designs that adjust to all devices -
mobile, desktop, etc. - the content of your email will be
the main driver of results.
I waited till midnight and then called PayPal in the USA (different time zone).
The PayPal representative couldn't find a way to let me access my PayPal account.
I asked him to simply transfer my balance to my bank account, the bank
account that PayPal has on record. Answer: only the account owner can do that, and the only way to prove that i was the account owner was to login, precisely
what i could not do. I asked him to escalate the problem to his supervisor.
His supervisor told me that same thing: "nothing we can do".
I threatened to close my account, publicize on social media the problem, sue PayPal, etc.
I tried to reason about the situation: if i never set
up a security question about a pet, then someone else
must have done it, and that's a security breach, correct?
This whole ordeal was about the security of my account, wasn't it?
