Show HN: Outis – Fight AI spam by sending fake "user unknown" bounce emails

Hacker News - Fri, 10/02/2026 - 11:36am

Outis fights spam generating and sending a fake "user unknown" bounce for an email you received, so the sender believes your address does not exist.

Of course this isn't a novel idea, I created a similar program back in 1998–1999 (actually, with a slightly different purpose), but I decided to revive it because it should work quite well with the recent trend of automated emails generated by AI, where the sender might expect a reply; it helps remove your email address from their list.

I don't have strong evidence about its effectiveness, but I'm testing it for few weeks and the spam noise seems to be reduced; I don't receive similar or followup emails any more.

Any idea on how to improve it? :)

Humans Too Nuanced to Predict?

Hacker News - Fri, 10/02/2026 - 11:33am

something im building is the worlds largest human behavioral dataset that can be used to anticipate how people react and do in the next 3 days of their life, but I have been facing this bottleneck lately

Being able to predict human behavior is the next gold rush. Prediction markets, marketing, sales, defense, ect.

But if you cant predict what your next 3 thoughts will be, how can you predict how an entire region of people's reaction to a policy change or an ad?

This is something that more data will answer, but im curious what you guys think
