Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I will admit I was fulminating a bit. I'm just extremely frustrated that their solution to edge cases is to drop them on the floor and there's nothing to be done. No individual Google user actually matters to the company, but many people actually need their email account. The asymmetry of power and money here just isn't sustainable.
- lazide 3y agoI get it. It really sucks. Banks doing it too is also really shitty. I didn’t take it personally, I hope you didn’t either. At some point I’m hoping a sane plateau becomes apparent. Or at least a realistic ‘plan B’ for how to recover from this. Generative AI though is really poisoning the online well, and I don’t know what we’re going to do about it. Captchas were never great, but near as I can tell they’re literally only stopping real humans now, for instance. When someone can easily gin up thousands of impossible-to-tell-they’re fake IDs for people that never existed? That breaks almost every verification process anyone has right now. Except in person ‘show up and provide the actual physical ID’. and that’s the reality we live in.
