Text from article:
It’s all so damned wholesome. I just looked at his social media and today he announced a scavenger hunt to teach people about labor history. But I think there’s something clever about focusing on things like making subscriptions easier to cancel and making sure the salary you’re owed is the salary you’re paid. It’s not just that wage theft is unjust and should be prosecuted, which is true. But stopping it also makes the world a little less full of lies and fraud. The “Trump era” is basically built on fraudulence. Scams are everywhere. People are constantly trying to rip you off and take your money, and it is exhausting just trying to know what’s true. Grandparents get scam calls from deepfakes of their grandkids saying they want money, for God’s sake. I think this is one reason people are so suspicious of AI. Defenders of data centers argue that the negative reaction to them overstates their water and electricity use. But I think people’s objections to data centers go beyond the noise they make and the electricity they use; they associate data centers with the move toward a world in which everything is more confusing and our lives are governed by forces we cannot understand or control. AI is a horrible escalation of our drift into a world where we are just constantly being lied to and manipulated by people who want to squeeze a profit out of us. (Including the president of the United States himself, who wants to sell you a memecoin and an NFT!)

On trial in Toronto this week, Aiden Pleterski pled not guilty to a Ponzi fraud where $ from new investors was used to pay out earlier ones. The 20‑something also used the $ for luxury cars, a waterfront mansion & private‑jet travel. Now he can't afford a lawyer

I reported crypto scammers on @WhatsApp. They got my account suspended. I got it reinstated but learned a painful lesson: scammers can be vindictive & reporting them can make you the target. The first rule of engaging with scammers? Don’t. brothke.medium.com/i-reported-c.... #Scams

Scammers are actively targeting Utah licensed professionals. The Utah Division of Professional Licensing will NEVER threaten immediate license suspension without formal written notice and due process.

It's much easier to trick people when the victim ends up calling the scammer. That's the latest approach, and it may even prevent telco protections from working. www.pickr.com.au/news/2026/sc... #news #online #qa #security #phonescams #scams #telstra
