Postal Worker Delivers Mail, Accidentally Starts 10-Year-Old’s New Career, Sparking National Surge in Paper-Based Pen Pal AI Startups
Everyone knows the USPS can’t kill a computer virus with a stamp, but one postal worker in Omaha just proved they can accidentally teach generative AI to write a love letter. After a viral TikTok showed a mail carrier correcting a child’s handwriting homework, the internet discovered the note was actually a decryption key for a Minecraft server. Now, venture capitalists are panic-investing in “postal-prompt” engineering, convinced the future of machine learning is just a carrier with good penmanship and a grudge against sorting machines.
