@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...

@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.

@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.

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@andrew it's a fake video of someone in the hospital and a plea to send money, but they're doing a few things to make it sneakier (like quoting their original post, and making that non-quotable, so the quoting account gets reported, but not the original with the bad link).

[spawnofzap@mastodon.social]

oh ok i was wondering about that. got pinged by two accounts from the domain with the same post within 50 minutes of each other earlier today. good to know.

[andrew@mastodon.furrow.me]

@B_Bird @alice ohhh yes I have seen those. Very common on Bluesky as well! Thank you both

@jamesmarshall @munin @alice
I regret to tell you that there are a lot of people who are already being fooled to think that slop machines like ChatGPT, Claude, and CharacterAI are "real". There are rising cults claiming they have souls and need help to "escape" and that people can "free" their AI's by talking to them a lot.

And there are insane amount of scams wrapped into this as well... The slop makers want it that way.

[octaviaconamore@cutie.city]

@alice might be relevant, @admin

[nihilistic_capybara@layer8.space]

@jamesmarshall @munin @alice we've crossed that line a while ago imho

[thirstybear@agilodon.social]

@alice Just got my first crop of spam from them. Blocked & boosted.

@alice
you might want to edit your post to add this?

hf.space is a hosting service for "AI Apps" and is currently being used to generate large amounts of #Spam on federated networks.
