"The USPS wants to auction out its delivery services to the highest bidders."

The bizarre subtext to this story is that #Amazon is already using the #USPS for last-mile delivery as it it

I live in a Puget Sound #ZIPCode and Amazon hasn't delivered any parcel of any size to my front door mat in six years at least

I don't have street mail delivery; I have a PO box

So to pick up any Amazon parcel I have to get in my car, drive to my local post office, park, wait in line, and get the Amazon parcel handed to me across the counter

And then go back out to my car and drive home

And the USPS wants to do what?

An example of enshittification and how badly Google has broken its core reason for existence, search: Google is using an LLM to "hallucinate" postcodes.

I dunno about other countries, but in Australia, if you get someone's postcode correct and a detail as simple as the recipient's name or nickname, a street name without the number, or the name of a home, then our postal service has a miraculously high success-rate for delivering a letter or parcel to the correct destination. You can write the wrong suburb or state in the address, but if you use the right the postcode, Australia Post delivers. But, without the correct postcode, you're up the creek without a paddle. The wrong postcode can lead to delayed delivery or can result in your mail getting the "Return to sender" treatment.

Google Search results _could_ index the database from Australia Post or pay a moderate commercial licensing fee to access their API. But, instead, Google's got an LLM to make-up postcodes. The results are near enough to appear convincing at first glance, such as using '3' for first digit of postcodes in Victoria. Then, they present it in the top position of Search results and have the cheek to use the Australia Post logo. In my experience, there appears to be a correlation between numerical similarity of Google's fictional postcodes and geographical proximity of suburbs. Google's "AI Overview" presents misleading nonsense instead of using traditional indexing or a trivial lookup table.

(More details in the Alt-text of the screenshot.)

100% not kidding. My zip/pin code is 686668. Forget the satan thing. My Swiss NRI (non-resident Indians) parents taught me to count in German. Es ist sechs acht sechs sechs sechs acht.

Sure, he can let the computer figure out all that for him, but we could have had a non-random code that the computer would have been just as happy with, but that would have been human-friendly too. You’ll remember that when you visit a museum or attraction in the US, they’ll often ask for your #ZIPcode - that gives them a simple way to model where their visitors are coming from, so that they can use that to focus their marketing dollars.
