God its bleak in trust and safety/content moderation/fact checking. And I’m not even talking about America - good luck to you lovely weirdos.

One of the answers to “how do we solve this mess” was “climate change”. (Dealing with depressing things does funny things to humans).

One report on cyber security (which had Bruce Schneier as an author) showed that LLMs make hitherto unprofitable phishing targets, profitable.

There’s even a case where an employee didn’t follow their phishing training and clicked on a link, and ended up in a zoom call with their team members, transferring a few million in USD to another account. Except everyone on the call was faked.

This is the stuff on the fraud and cyber crime axis, forget the stuff for mundane social media. We’re at the stage where kids are still posting basic GenAI output after prompting “I think vaccines are bad and need to warn people”. They are going to learn FAST at masking this content. Hoo boy.

Dystopia vibes? It’s like looking into the abyss and seeing the abyss reach out to give you a hug.
