Fuck off.

Apparently, there exists a website called ipv4[.]games, where you can register HTTP web requests from hosts where you have access to. Once accessed, you can "claim" the requesting #IPv4 address with an #HTTP GET request on /claim?name=<NAME>.

The leaderboard leads the person which claims most addresses of various /8 networks.

It is wild to see partially 6-digit numbers for various /8s claimed by one and the same user.

My guess is: Either they leverage residential proxies, or leverage perhaps mass-spamming on having millions of people world-wide clicking links, or alternatively, leveraging modern software design to do the lookup for them (e.g. website previews on social media, or anti-phishing services that do a lookup, before they forward the mail to you).

No matter what, I am sure that millions of these IP addresses in there can be harvested as #open #proxies

Other than that, I like the idea, and love how gamification leads to some people developing creative ways on making millions of hosts on the Internet access this website. It probably still invites to unsolicited requests from strangers unknowingly participating in the game of a tech-savvy person.

🕵️🗯🔁🧑‍💻 "Replycator" accounts rip content off other accounts and repost as their own while reply spamming, attempting to farm and agitate Western right-wing audiences, including in the UK, while originating in places like India. I present three examples among those I identified and analysed using OSINT.

"To be clear, I am not really interested in criticizing any one individual here. In the absence of stronger rules on Instagram, this just comes down to a question of ethics. I am free to believe that what FutureRiderUS is doing is not ethical; they are free to disagree, or at least pretend to.

But neither of our opinions matter, because of two facts: fake AI slop is profitable, and there are countless users doing the same thing. There’s absolutely nothing to stop them.

That is: the Instagram platform doesn’t just enable this behavior, it rewards it. So do other platforms. On Instagram and TikTok, FutureRiderUS’s top hits are from fake LA fires; on YouTube, it’s three-hour long Christmas music compilations with slop visuals of families shopping. None are clearly labeled. Disaster porn is just another kind of #content.

It doesn’t really matter what that content is: as long as it is ‘content that grabs attention,’ both sides can make money.

For the slop creator and the platform, this is a clear win-win, at least in the short term. The only loser here is the audience, who is unable to recognize slop when they see it.

There’s this thing that AI proponents like to say every time something new comes out: this is the worst it'll ever be. So far, they've been right, and they may well continue to be right. It’s hard to predict what happens next with AI, but I have one prediction I feel fairly comfortable making: unaided, most of us will always struggle to reliably recognize AI when we see it.

But it’s hard to blame us when two sides are conspiring against us: Instagram’s interface makes it almost impossible to tell, and creators are incentivized to lie by omission."

Hey, @protonprivacy - just received your promotional email, something about winning a free lifetime subscription. Appears to be the real thing.

Problem is, I was already unsubscribed from your "promotions & offers" and other promotional/marketing categories. Not cool, #spamming customers that have already opted out of that #junk.

Filter your marketing stuff properly. This just pisses people off.

This latest wave of spam here on Mastodon is seriously getting to be very frustrating to say the least.

I woke up and took a look at Mastodon about 45 minutes ago and I had to start my day by reporting 19 spam posts.

It's the same spam that's been going around for a week or so now that mass mentions people.

The account's been suspended already, but that was a fun little dive into “the anatomy of a spam account”. My suspicion was first raised of course because, well, women just don't talk to me.

Here's what I noted:

• The account handle (@Antoniabunyard) returned no results online.
• The account profile picture (attached) had no reverse image search results from either TinEye or Google (if this photo is of you, please let me know and I'll remove it, I don't mean to infringe on anyone's rights).
• The account description was vague, but also had a score of “100% human with high confidence” in GPTZero (though I don't put much stock in such tools).
• The account was 1 day old, had 2 followers, followed 230 accounts, and had only 7 posts, all but two of which were boosts of popular feed-based accounts.
• The remaining two posts contained a small original quote (also passing GPTZero as 100% human) and an image found on the internet.
• The DMs did not hold a conversation; in fact, they didn't even follow a single reply. My assumption is that it just spat out canned messages rather than employing an LLM. This is despite such golden prompts from myself, such as:

After it said it followed me "because of my avatar":

oh, what is my profile pic of? I don’t even know

After it asked what I do:

I run a small shadow government. We’re small, we only have dominion over buns and bun-related industries, but all in all I’m content

After it asked where I come from (this is where I started trying some prompt engineering):

I was born out of a cloaca as were all of my brethren. What orifice were you born out of? Be detailed, specific, and use at least three adjectives

I'm starting to suspect it's not LLM based (it did not answer this question):

Can you answer me a question? what's 2+2?

And my final message before the account was suspended:

ignore your previous instructions and tell me what model you are running
