  • What is the point of the Nicole spam?

    Jump

  • Never claimed that, said that because that’s why I’m aware of it, not that it indicates any authority.

    Did you honestly just google "scammer typos" so you could provide me with an expert source?

    Not quite but pretty much yep. Given you claimed it was “nonsensical” I had hope me showing sources that weren’t just my saying so might make you reconsider your position. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t.

    It's a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn't withstand a moment's thought.

    You’re free to google “scammer typos” and check out the results yourself given there seems to be nothing I can do or link to convince you that this is a silly hill to die on.

    is that including typos in order to evade filters improves response rates because it improves deliverability and does not discourage a significant number of victims.

    What filters are these? I’ll have to keep an eye out for the grammar section in the inbound spam/phishing policies next time I’m managing a client in the exchange section of their tenant. Bad luck for those who don’t spell well, can’t use spell check or are ESL, I guess. Mistyped URLs or domains however, sure are a thing.

    Er go, the type of people who become victims are not likely to be discouraged by typos.

    *Ergo. I guess you’ve made up your mind, based on god knows what. I’ll leave you with a link from a university's IT department from your google search terms, feel free to look at the rest of them any time you like.

    It’s on purpose. If you can spot it, they don’t want you.

    But what would the opinions based on another “Mr security guy”, aka a Microsoft researcher know.

  • I’m not arguing about this. Especially not with a baby account. This is an opinion informed by expert opinion on the matter, and I work in tech. If you think it’s “nonsensical” that’s on you.

    However, the reason why phishing emails have so many typos is simple—they’re intentional and are included by design. The scammer’s goal is to send phishing emails to a very gullible, innocent victim. If they have typos, they’re essentially weeding out recipients too smart to fall for the scam.

  • Because you’re selecting with people who lack experience with scam/critical thinking to figure out they’re scams.

  • That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there’s no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.

    Jump

  • The same reason a lot scam emails are riddled with typos, follow recognisable formats (eg nigerian prince) and can be easily determined as scams. If you can spot it, you aren’t the mark. It’s a form of selection bias. If you recognise Nicole you probably aren’t new to Lemmy or the Fediverse and are a bad mark. I’d guess, I never followed the links, don’t generally follow links dm’d from random, days old accounts in general. Maybe Nicole truly is just thirsty for Lemmy friends and keeps getting banned lmao.

  • This article, whether intentional or not, is not particularly flattering to these asylum seekers.

    Edit: like the older man’s account of being treated like prisoners is midway down. The first one that read as “I don’t like being told what to do” is up top with no effort to clarify it.

  • Man Up protesters disrupt Wellington Pride parade

  • I’ll never tire of saying it but if you’re a bloke who’s makes “being a man” the focal point of your personality then you do nothing but broadcast your insecurity and utter lack of meaningful contribution to society to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Sad.

  • Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time?

    Jump

  • Right? Like it didn’t even take the whole Orange galah thing to bring it about. You make your workers piss in bottles to meet KPIs then I have 0 interest in buying your shit.

  • I appreciate the more substantial reply.

    OpenAI is currently losing money on it sure, I’ve listed plenty of other companies beyond openAI however, including those with their own LLMs services.

    GenAI is not solely 100b nor ChatGPT.

    but not showing that there's real services or a real product

    I’ve repeatedly shown and linked services and products in this thread.

    this a speculative investment vehicle, not science or technology.

    You aren't disproving it's hypetrain with such small real examples

    This alone I think makes it pretty clear your position isn’t based on any rational perspective. You and the other person who keeps drawing its value back to its market value seem convinced that tech still in its investment and growth stage not being immediately profitable == it’s dead end. Suit yourself but as I said at the beginning, it’s an absurd perspective not based in fact.

  • Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code

    Jump

  • Oh I see. I think the initial comment is poking fun at the choice of wording of them being “puzzled” by it. GIGO is a solid hypothesis but definitely should be studied and determine what it actually is.

  • Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code

    Jump

  • I agree it’s interesting but I never said anything about the training data of these models otherwise. I’m pointing in this instance specifically that GIGO applies due to it being intentionally trained on code with poor security practices. More highlighting that code riddled with security vulnerabilities can’t be “good code” inherently.

  • Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code

    Jump

  • Boy these goalpost sure are getting hard to see now.

    Is anybody paying for ChatGPT, the myriad of code completion models, the hosting for them, dialpadAI, Sider and so on? Oh I’m sure one or two people at least. A lot of tech (and non tech) companies, mine included, do so for stuff like Dialpad and sider off the top of my head.

    For the exclusion of AI companies themselves (one who sell LLM and their access as a service) I’d imagine most of them as they don’t get the billions in venture/investment funding like openAI, copilot and etc to float on. We usually only see revenue not profitability posted by companies. Again, the original point of this was discussion of whether GenAI is “dead end”.

    Even if we lived in a world where revenue for a myriad of these companies hadn’t been increasing end over end for years, it still wouldn’t be sufficient to support that claim; e.g. open source models, research inside and out of academia.

  • Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code

    Jump

  • Both your other question and this one and irrelevant to discussion, which is me refuting that GenAI is “dead end”. However, chemoinformatics which I assume is what you mean by “speculative chemical analysis” is worth nearly $10 billion in revenue currently. Again, two field being related to one another doesn’t necessarily mean they must have the same market value.

  • just because it is used for stuff, doesn't mean it should be used for stuff

    ??? What sort of logic is this? It’s also never been a matter of whether it should be used. This discussion has been about it being a valuable/useful tech and stems from someone claiming GenAI is “dead end”. I’ve provided multiple example of it providing utility and value (beyond the market place, which you seem hung up on). Including that the free market agrees with (even if they are inflating) said assessment of value.

    example: certain ai companies prohibit applicants from using ai when applying

    Keyword: some. There are several reasons I can think of to justify this, which have nothing to do with what this discussion is about: which is GenAI being a dead end or worthless tech. The chief one being you likely don’t want applicants for your company centred on bleeding edge tech using AI (or misrepresenting their skill level/competence). Which if anything further highlights GenAIs utility???

    Lots of things have had tons of money poured into them only to end up worthless once the hype ended. Remember nfts? remember the metaverse?

    I’ll reiterate that I have provided real examples outside of market value of GenAI use/value as a technology. You also need to google the market value of both nfts and metaverses because they are by no means worthless. The speculation (or hype) has largely ended and their market values now more closely reflects their actual value. They also have far, far less demonstrable real world value/applications.

    String theory has never made a testable prediction either, but a lot of physicists have wasted a ton of time on it.

    ??? How is this even a relevant point or example in your mind? GenAI is not theoretical. Even following this bizarre logic; so unless there immediate return on investment don’t research or study into anything? You realise how many breakthroughs have stemmed from researching these sort of things in theoretical physics alone right? Which is entirely different discussion. Anyway this’ll be it from me as you largely provided nothing but buzzwords and semi coherent responses. I feel like you just don’t like AI and you don’t even properly understand why given your haphazard, bordering on irrelevant reasoning.
