Yes, it's an informative and important article. I think the complaints here are absurd. Hopefully the people not reading it for silly reasons won't become the victims of similar social engineering.

I find all the whining about the AI help to be far more annoying and distracting than the AI itself

  • Agree. People need to chill out. I thought there might be some discussion in the comments about the scam. Unfortunately, no. Complete waste of time to read and much more annoying than the original article.

    • Between that, the seemingly excessive skepticism it happened, and "lol blockchain was your first mistake", I half-wondered if it wasn't a deliberate effort to dilute the alarm bells that we should all learn from here

      Then I had a different thought: perhaps it's a mental defense mechanism at the unease at realizing how plausible it would be for many of us to fall prey to this scam

      Anyway. Bizarre.

This isn't a groundbreaking article. We already knew about this kind of scam, so why trudge through an article written by an LLM doing its best Linkedin grifter impression?
