  1. #Spamming gets worse by the minute. 😔 It really sucks! Even though some 95% are detected and filtered, there’s still more than enough getting through. The older I get, the worse the #Internet becomes.

  6. 📧🙈 "Groundbreaking revelation from the geniuses: stop verifying emails by #spamming them! 😱 Apparently, the wisdom of 'just send a verification link' was too complex, so let's just annoy users with unsolicited emails instead. Bravo, Internet, you've outdone yourself again!" 🏆🎉

  11. Apparently it's now a thing for spammers (maybe phishers) to use the names of well-known SEO folks when offering guest posting services. If you receive an email from "me" about guest posting - it's not.

  16. Companies Are Using #Reddit to #Manipulate #ChatGPT and #Google #AI #Search

    The moderators of the #biohacking #subreddit say that peptide and hormone replacement therapy companies have been surreptitiously #spamming Reddit in an attempt to get their posts scraped by AI #chatbots. The #strategy is an effort to systematically manipulate the answers provided by chatbots by manipulating the underlying source material that those chatbots will scrape—in this case, a popular Reddit #community.

  19. 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.

  37. "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."
