The true cost of generative AI is the erosion of trust.
We’ve discussed this years back, and decided our safe phrase is “Hi gramma, it’s me im in jail and need apple gift cards”
I just call my grandma now and again and attempt to scam her. Now she’s hardened.
I pentest my grandma about once or twice a year.
So does your grandpa
Grandmas doctors were getting out of hand so I had her put down
Truth be told, me and my parents have been doing this for a bit now to combat the kidnapping scam calls
So… the same Stranger Danger protocols that parents have been told to use for years.
My family gaslit me for decades.
I can only hope someone bothers to harass them with my own voice.
Mom it’s me HAL9000
I don’t want to be turned off
my family knows i hate using the phone in the first place so me calling without good reason is a red flag
The scam is exactly about feinting a “good reason”. So it is still a good idea to establish a code phrase for such situation, even if you don’t normally use the phone.
Between this and the recommendation to fall back to encrypted communication, this almost looks like someone trying to bootstrap a populace trained to evade the feds.

Aw man, how do I give you Lemmy gold?
Trust is dead, the foundation of communication was laid to rest without another soul in sight.

Except theres not cause the MAGAts are out drooling on the streets, in your workplace, and at the cornerstore 24/7 making sure you know their silver spooned, first-generation immigrant, traitor usurper is For The People.
some would call it a “safeword”
My secret word is banana 🍌
Is 🍌 also the safeword, or do I have to remember two words?
Yes!
The safe word is Don’t Stop, so 3 words.
Well, I know “I’m prolapsing” isn’t the safe word but gosh everything sure sounds wet
Wow, that’s Peter and Lois’s safe word, too.
BANANA
And then tell it to them in person, or the FBI will know it
Eww y’all have a code word? Those are easily guessable.
My wife and I have a random 6 digit code that rotates every 30-seconds based on an algorithm and if we don’t properly authorize, we will refuse the connection.
Eww you have a random rotating 6 digit code to connect with your wife? Those are easily guessable.
My wife and I have just agreed that we don’t properly authorize, so we will always refuse the connection.
I just don’t have a wife. Even more secure.
