I'm not into that.
Besides, it would anger Mistress Firmnobs and she would have to give me 'lessons'.

I don't read Chinese and I would imagine China is a place where people have lots of workplace issues, but yes, it does look like the bots have been rather busy.

Send the American spammers to a .gov site, the Chinese spammers to a .gov.cn site, etc. At least the government sites will be doing something useful!

I suspect that spamming the government gets you the same treatment as mentioning "Tiananmen Square" in the same sentence as the words "protest" or "massacre"

I was reading an excerpt from Guy Kawasaki's* recently released book, Amazon.com: Wise Guy: Lessons from a Life eBook: Guy Kawasaki: Kindle Store[^], and I stumbled onto another much older book of his.
The book was originally written back in 1994 but it has a really interesting point about the fear of automation (ala AI and Robots Are Taking Over Everything!!!)
"...consider what happened to the companies in the ice-harvesting business.
From the 1830s to the 1890s ice harvesting (cutting up frozen ponds and selling the ice) was a huge industry in New England. In 1886, the biggest ice harvest that ever occurred amounted to 25 million tons.
By the 1920s, almost all the ice-harvesting companies were out of business. Ice harvesting had been made obsolete by ice-making plants that could operate in any part of the country during every season.
Later, these ice-making plants were themselves made obsolete with the advent of refrigerators in people's homes."
Suppose you could go back in time and ask the owners of the ice-harvesting companies what their reactions were to ice-making machines. What do you think they would tell you?
*Guy Kawasaki was the "Product Evangelist" (worked closely with Steve Jobs) whose job was to convince companies to build software for the original Mac (even though it was a slow machine with too little RAM).

I always find milk delivery an interesting one:
We've gone from milk being delivered in reusable packaging by horse powered vehicles to milk being delivered in reusable packaging by electric vehicles to milk being delivered in plastic packaging by petrol driven vehicles.
Progress is never quite as linear as we like to think.

That is an interesting one. 
I am against milk delivery because I am lactose intolerant.

And now there is no such thing as milk deliveries (except to the supermarket/local store). My first job out of school was as a milko's offsider, paid $40 a week.

Oh, yeah, John Henry is a great example. Forgot about that one.
That's the beginning of the fight against automation.
John Henry won! But, alas...
