>I found the best new thing artificial intelligence can do for your personal life: quit online subscriptions. It ain’t superintelligence. But it is useful. And the way it works — along with when it fails — offers us a snapshot of one of the most-promising frontiers in AI, known as “agents.” I recently wanted to quit Hulu and Disney+, but grew annoyed as I hunted for a cancel button. Making it annoying to quit is part of the business model for many companies. Amazon is paying $2.5 billion to settle with the Federal Trade Commission for tricking people into subscribing to Prime and then making it hard to cancel.

I previously cancelled a subscription that required a phone call, no way to cancel online. I got a sales pitch and attempt to get me to cancel my cancellation plans and thankfully stuck with the plan and I did get an email confirmation of the cancellation.

I reported them to the Atty General. If you sign up on line there’s a law that says you can unsubscribe online.

The unsubscribe system doesn’t work. They say “must be your browser” claim tech issues all on your side, works for them.

All fucking lies like aol.

Fuck them to hell.
