Regarding prev post, this is a non-deterministic architecture flow. An AI screening tool doesn’t follow 1 path — multiple models adjust ur profile before a human sees it. Rejection happens invisibly, systemically.

One of my best friends sent me this email she got from Starling bank. Above this section, it had her name saying these were personal recommendations for her.

This is truly awful. Not sure if it's #DeceptiveDesign but it's assumptive and insulting. Who OKs this shit?
Screenshot that recommends three posts/articles, "I went sober for 31 days and tracked my savings." "Thinking of starting therapy this year? Here’s how much it costs." "New year, new habits. Why do we overspend? Two experts weigh in."
