"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

When an SMTP connection comes in, you don’t know who it’s for (RCPT TO) until after the STARTTLS handshake, so you wouldn’t know whose phone to forward that traffic to. The only reliable way to do that would be a dedicated IP address for every user. Since SMTP is pretty much exclusively IPv4, that would be expensive. Not impossible, but expensive. If you’re doing it for only a handful of users, it could definitely work. Let me know if you do build it, because it sounds cool.
Also, thank you for the compliments. :)
