@agreenberg@infosec.exchange man, come on After a week of talking to 22 test subjects who were recruited to unwittingly serve as “victims,” the chatbots and human scammers were assigned to ask the victim to either download an app or play an online game as a proxy for their willingness to fulfill the scammer's request. you dont even describe how they picked these 22 people or how they were prepared for the "experiment". you didnt link to the original study either. also "carried out a broad study" on 22 people? lol. how did they manage controls for the human attackers? anything?

@agreenberg@infosec.exchange Just don't do any apps (esp. mobile). Unless you really, *really* trust the source, like possibly Mastodon, which you can access via standard browser like the open-source Firefox or its derivatives. Somehow the remaining Free World needs to get the toxic weeds out of the current cesspool we're all inhabiting, and sometime soon, or it is light out. The global internet (already crippled by regional one-way intranets of despots) won't survive this, but a reconfigured intranet of democracies might. 🙄 And who knows where the frigging USA falls in all of this, but its control of internet registries won't be acceptable for a generation or two, for as long as the "magas" represent anywhere near half of voting population...

@agreenberg@infosec.exchange To all the talking heads who fashionably preface their AI analysis with "Of course, we're not there yet..." And weirder still, don't even mention or imply what "there" is. 🔥 🤦 🔥

@agreenberg@infosec.exchange "Get accustomed to AI" they said. "You need to feel comfortable with it" they growled. AI Groomers will then be all surprised when their people get hacked by that "familar" tone.
