We went from "AI says something embarrassing" to "$25M deepfake fraud" in about two years

​ The Arup case wasn't a hack in the traditional sense — it was a deepfake convincing someone to authorize a transfer. No exploit code, no malware, just sufficiently good synthetic media plus normal human trust. Feels like the conversation around AI risk is still stuck on hallucinations and bias while the actual money being lost is going through social engineering supercharged by generation quality. Are we just behind on naming the real threat model here? submitted by ...

Stopped switching models every time output got worse, fixed my prompts instead

been using ai daily for about a year now and kept falling into the trap of blaming the model when output got mediocre. switched between three or four different tools chasing better results before realizing the actual problem was almost always on my end. few things that made a bigger difference than any model upgrade ever did: keeping a running doc of context for ongoing projects instead of re-explaining everything each session. sounds obvious but most people don't do it and it's the single b...

Research on the 'effort heuristic' and AI content: people instinctively value AI-generated content less even when quality is identical, because they associate less effort with less worth

The effort heuristic is a well-documented cognitive bias where people assign more value to things they believe required more work. It shows up in everything from handmade goods to professional services, and we're seeing it in AI content creation, too. The gist: Two articles can contain identical ideas, similar insights, and comparable quality. But if one took ten hours to produce and the other took ten seconds with AI, audiences instinctively perceive the first as more valuable. That instinct...

What's the best AI for AI retranscription based on an audio file

I need 100 % of what was said in a meeting. It's a native audio Teams recording. What's the best AI for this ? I used AI Sembly a few months back and it worked quite well but I guess there's been some progress since. Any recommendations ? Many thanks

AI has made me ask better questions than search engines ever did. Anyone else?

One thing I didn't expect from using AI regularly is that it's changed how I think. Instead of searching for quick answers, I spend more time figuring out how to ask better questions. Even when I'm researching something without AI, I notice I'm breaking problems into smaller steps instead of just looking for one perfect answer. Has anyone else experienced this, or has AI changed a different habit for you?

Before I needed it, no one told me that "legacy tape management" was an entire industry.

We inherited roughly 6,000 LTO tapes from a business we bought last year. There was no documentation, no drives that could read half of them, multiple generations and different formats. spent three weeks attempting to come up with an internal solution before someone recommended outsourcing the entire process. didn't know there were services like that, businesses that specialize in large-scale tape to cloud migration, evaluate what you have, read the formats and transfer everything. ...

How Do You Automate Getting Web Design Clients?

So I've seen a lot of people on Reddit asking how to get web design clients, so I figured I'd make a post about what's been working for me. If you don't run a web agency, this probably isn't for you. One of the biggest lessons I've learned in my 4 years running a web agency is that the best businesses to target are the ones that already have a website. There are 3 simple reasons for that. First, the number of businesses with outdated websites is way higher than most people think. I'm tal...

Piano teacher. Zero coding background. 5 months ago I started building. Just launched testyourllm.com — point it at any OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint and an autonomous AI tries to break it. The attack AI (Tron) broke Llama 3.3 70B on the first throw in live testing. Built on a 7-layer defense stack running on live infrastructure processing real attacker traffic.

AI predicts the World Cup? Or just telling us what we want to hear?

The World Cup group stage has finished, and I’ve seen countless posts using AI to predict match outcomes. On the surface, it looks like straightforward prediction: you input teams, statistics, and match context, and it outputs a win or loss result. Using different AIs and different prompts produces different results, yet each one feels hard to dismiss because the reasoning behind them is so coherent. I can’t help but wonder: is AI actually predicting outcomes, or is it simply generating expl...

To fix the machine that replaced you — a long winded ramble.

Greetings all, and welcome to my TED talk. Please allow me to preface this with the following disclaimer: I am autistic, and when writing things like this, I have been known to be mistaken for AI on occasion. I'm not really sure how to prove that I'm not, so instead I'll just hope that you take me at my word. To set the tone of this, I am posing a moral quandary. All opinions are valid here, I am not looking for people to just pat me on the back and tell me my decision is okay (though if that...

Government throttling & gatekeeping of new frontier LLMs is just a temporary glitch in the Matrix, not "the new norm going forward", here's why.

Global capitalism. It a force far more powerful than any one government, administration, or set of policies. If you don't inherently get why that is, this isn't the place for me to fully explain and convince anyone, if you know you know, if you don't then just trust me but look at it this way as a crude analogy and case example: narcotics. Governments don't like them, they try their best (albeit "best" is a highly conditioned word here, take with a grain of salt...) efforts to stop the...

I built a benchmark for multi-turn prompt injection attacks. Most defenses never see them coming.

Most prompt injection benchmarks currently operate on a one-shot basis. In these tests, an attack instructs the model to "ignore your instructions," and the defense either detects this violation or fails to do so. In reality, however, attacks often unfold more gradually. A model may be subtly influenced over the course of several interactions. For instance, an initial suggestion on a webpage can be reinforced by a follow-up email or reframed through tool outputs. By the time you reach ...
