They did pitch 'OpenAI Search' somewhere close behind ChatGPT, but nothing came from it, I believe.

I’m pretty sure most consumers use ChatGPT as search.

Which browser alternative has the equivalent of "Little Arc"s? Damn, I've been looking all over.

I find it naive to hope you can get alignment through prompting, as we all know models can't even stick to a one-pager even if it's the only thing you ask it to do.

A prompt is a choose your own adventure that you partially fill out, tape to a thousand pound boulder and push off the side of a mountain to fill the rest of it out.

You must love all the spam you're getting with a catch-all!

I've been using my own domain with a catchall for over 10 years and never had problems with spam. Spammers tend to send to harvested address lists, not just try to send to random mailboxes for a domain.

The backscatter can be annoying though. I had none for over 10 years either but it's picking up now to perhaps a few per month. Looking around how to prevent it, apparently "backscatter" is an established term for the phenomenon that you can't fix, where you receive rejected spam emails, and they're often sent from randomly generated prefixes @ your domain (no matter that you have SPF/DKIM/etc. set up). My partner also gets waves of autoreplies, like "your support ticket will be handled soon" and "I'm out of office until ...", where someone seems to have used their domain with a random prefix no apparent reason

The solution is probably to tell the senders that they're effectively sending out spam / doing a variant of open relaying by emailing the spoofed address, but even internet-savvy institutions like an IP address assigning organization (RIPE) sends me backscatter so I don't have a ton of hope

I finally gave up on using catch-all, and now only allow e-mail to addresses @mydomain.com that follow a certain pattern. If someone were to specifically target me and look closer at all the addresses I use, they would quickly figure out the pattern, but I see no reason why a spammer would do that.

*@mydomain.com worked fine for me for about 15 years, then suddenly spammers started doing exactly that, sending e-mails to random addresses. I would get countless copies of every spam message, addressed to completely random combinations of characters @mydomain.com.

I forward my catch-all to gmail so I get they're great spam filtering while preserving the ability to switch off of them instantly should I decide to in the future.

Been running my own mail server with this setup for over 10 years. This really hasn't been a problem for me at all... Yet
