It's a hugging face domain for AI projects, and it's currently being used to launch mutual aid scams.

[intransitivelie@beige.party]

@alice
Forgive my ignorance, but what's a hugging face domain?

[munin@infosec.exchange]

@alice

I would be a lot more enthusiastic about 'ai projects' if they turned their efforts towards removing spam instead of fucking causing it.

[korin@roark.voluminum.net]

@alice i got spam-tagged by several different accounts on the domain

[mattblaze@federate.social]

@munin @alice that really sums up an awful lot about the problem.

[b_bird@mastodon.social]

@alice Thank You.
Note the obscured gofund.me link by quoting a previous seed post, and making it non-quotable.
The 50% saving in the donation is a nice touch..

@mattblaze @alice

Same reason why I don't really have much respect for red teamers in general.

Sure, there's some individual exceptions who have shown that they use that skillset productively.

But most of the time all they do is cause a big fucking mess that I have to fucking clean up, and I'm fucking sick of this shit.

@intransitivelie hugging face is a platform for working with AI models.

@alice @intransitivelie here is a current example: https://mastodon.social/@nagam1172w4@ali525-q.hf.space

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@alice thx.

Updated my public blocklist, so when the folks at Mastodon decide to actually care, it'llbe automatically updated from the FEED-URL...

• Cuz any other #Server Software can do that...

[patcharcana@furry.engineer]

@munin @alice it's a thought, but I don't know that I want the spammishness of my communications being judged by an LLM.

My emails get voided often enough already.

[munin@infosec.exchange]

@patcharcana @alice

Oh, I know they're not capable of doing it. That's why they do spam instead.

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@munin @patcharcana most anti-spam systems use AI (and have for years). It's not an LLM, but it's naïve Bayesian classifiers, support vector machines, and logistic regression models.

[patcharcana@furry.engineer]

@alice @munin right, but nobody is handing out VC gold stars and cookies for "primative" machine learning solutions.

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@munin @alice It really only has that one use case...

[bob@beamship.mpaq.org]

@alice first thing i see is pushing AI after getting redirected to https://huggingface.co/spaces, bye bye

[jamesmarshall@sfba.social]

@munin @alice once again, I don't WANT computers to pass the Turing Test. When computers pass the Turing Test, i.e. when they fool humans into thinking they're real humans, all sorts of high-scale scams are enabled.

[andrew@mastodon.furrow.me]

@alice what’s a mutual aid scam? I think I saw one but not sure

[b_bird@mastodon.social]

@andrew @alice a new account with repeated requests for money sent to many accounts.
These account generally only have the same begging post (some times a few re-posts) The use the same/similar social engineering scripts.
