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.
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.
Mom it’s me HAL9000
I don’t want to be turned off
Aw man, how do I give you Lemmy gold?
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.
Trust is dead, the foundation of communication was laid to rest without another soul in sight.
Digital communication is dead*
People forget there’s still a perfectly good real world right there any time they want to live in it.
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.
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
BANANA
Wow, that’s Peter and Lois’s safe word, too.
some would call it a “safeword”
And then tell it to them in person, or the FBI will know it
