I had quite some beef with the tethered caps in the beginning when they didn’t latch properly, but have since gotten used to them. That said:
- Cap on top -> Funny hat for nose!
- Cap on bottom -> Beard gets to take a moist nap.
- Cap on sides -> Mustache also gets to take a sip!
Obviously not much of a problem. I’d need to clean my facial hair either way if eating ice cream or other messy foods, but cap rotation might not be effective if your “face” sticks out 1-2cm from your mouth.
One could also attempt to rotate the cap in a way to achieve quantum tunneling, but I don’t feel that I’ve achieved that level of “tethered cap proficiency” yet.
One could see it as a bad thing as the AI is lying on two occasions, and that the letter was sent in bad faith (laziness, automated ads, perhaps even passing off others’ content as your own/wording).
In extension, or rather because of the two first points, one could call this a “scam for Tim’s time”.
The scam in OPs post might just be worse than regular scams, not because it is dangerous, but because it makes us lose trust in others. How hard would it be if you actually happened to be a Nigerian prince who wants to share his wealth? Well, now smaller developers can finally find out!
