Ohhh. 🔥

"These findings suggest that companies may benefit from shifting their marketing efforts and product development towards consumers with lower AI literacy. Additionally, efforts to demystify AI may inadvertently reduce its appeal, indicating that maintaining an aura of magic around AI could be beneficial for adoption."

The system prompt apparently did not prevent the model from saying the quiet part out loud 😬

Beware: #Romance #scammers now appear to be targeting the older #LGBT community as well as the middle aged cis men they normally go for.

I don't know what sort of social networks/media older lesbian women in Scotland hang out on, but even though Scotland is progressive many of that generation aren't openly out and proud on mainstream social networks, so there may have been an element of #cyberstalking even in a supposed "safe place" to target her..

Notes on an attempt at phishing.

So this afternoon, I received an email that looked like it was coming from PayPal. The From: field had a PayPal address. The links in the email all started with the right URL.

However, the To: field was to some random address. A mass mailing, perhaps. PayPal contacts me to *my* address, not some random one.

The To: field was the first clue that something was off.

The email said that someone had updated their money request and that they were now asking for $1400 US.

There was also a note, supposedly from the **seller**:

"Don't recognize the seller? Please contact PayPal Support Team immediately at +1(888) 000-0000 (Toll Free). If you have any issues, you can also contact +1(888) 000-0000 (Toll Free). If you do not reach out, we will proceed with the transaction."

(The phone numbers above have been edited.)

Er... what? This could be a note from PayPal, but what seller is going to say "Don't recognize us? Call PayPal!"

I checked the phone numbers, and they are not associated with PayPal.

What's going on here? The email is relatively polished for a scam, and the links might be legit. (No, I did not test them.) Maybe they are hoping that the victim will check online, find nothing, and then call one of the numbers?

I did check online (but not by clicking the links in the email) and PayPal has no knowledge of this transaction. This is where it stops. I'm not calling any numbers.

Stay sharp, folks!

‘AI Granny’ is happy to talk with phone scammers all day

the UK’s largest mobile network operator, O2, introduced a chatbot designed to frustrate phone scammers. Called “dAIsy,” it mimics an older woman with all kinds of time to chat – about knitting, her cat Fluffy – with the aim of keeping fraudsters endlessly engaged as they try obtaining her (fake) bank details.
