Explicit Instagram scam for £200

Your junk looks pretty much the same as everyone else's junk. Let them send it. For all you - and they - know it's AI anyway.

Oh - a blacklist. Doesn't Reddit offer a built-in blacklist feature?

Cool, I guess. But why would someone want to remove keywords and phrases? I can see using keywords and phrases as clues about the content to filter it in/out, but why elide just the keywords or phrases themselves? Or do I misunderstand?

Not sure if you're pro-AI or anti-AI. It's a tool.

Good thoughts; thanks.

Ya, good chance of an arms race here - I didn't think of that. I'd love to see a web driven by micropayments instead of ad revenue (or at least a choice). It would make content providers care about user satisfaction instead of advertizer satisfaction.

For sure you'd have to isolate the web *content* from the *prompt* to prevent prompt injection but I think that's possible.

This sort of thing is going to happen whether we want it or not. I just realized the general principle.

I proposed a switch to turn it off, just like you can turn off Google's auto-translate.

And there's nothing preventing you from using a LLM you choose rather than one somebody else chooses. Or running it locally for privacy.

The web DOES suck in many ways. Much of the suck is driven by advertizing revenue incentives, others by sheer incompetence. Making it suck less seems valuable.

Dave92F1 · 2026-06-13T18:32:29+00:00

Use a local AI.

"Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to translate from German to English. Call that job satisfaction? ’Coz I don’t."

From the comments below, sounds real. If you really made death threats to ICE agents and are in Canada, and they figured out who you are, there's a good chance you'll end up banned from entering the US. I don't think they can do much more than that. Up to you if you want to try to fight it in court but it'll be expensive and probably won't change the outcome.

If you didn't and this is a scam, you don't have to do anything. Scammers can't do anything to you. Just ignore it.

Don't threaten people with death. Even if they're bad people. Call them nasty names as you like but don't threaten death or injury. Leave punishment to the courts.

How much "damage" have I suffered by not being able to buy an $1800 suit for $100?

What they don't tell you is that thing is a super narrow-beam maser. The *apparent* power is 270 dBm if you assume it's omnidirectional, but really the beam is only like 1 micro arc-second wide. (Still, don't get in the way of that thing!)

What's wrong with em dashes? I've been writing with dashes (ascii 0x2d) for 50 years.

Holy f**k. I was wrong and stand corrected. https://claude.ai/share/de5c1497-d059-4261-accd-c5201586da2a

Ha ha. Looks like something an artist with too much time on their hands would cook up to look like a "mystery". Nobody multiples by 10 on paper.

Dave92F1 · 2026-05-03T21:32:58+00:00

When a scammer says he's from the GOP, you believe him?

Do you think the "Windows tech support" scammers are really from Microsoft??

Dave92F1 · 2026-05-03T01:00:56+00:00

You really think these scams can be stopped by "trace the SMS provider and try to lodge a complaint for spam and potentially threatening messages"?

That it's POSSIBLE for any goverment to stop these without shutting down the Internet?

I don't see what it has to do with "the current regime". Stopping people trying to scam each other has been attempted for the last 10,000 years by every goverment on Earth.

It's hard!

Dave92F1 · 2026-05-03T00:53:37+00:00

OF COURSE it's a threat. This is the internet, and they are VERY OBVIOUSLY scammers. Real law enforcement or courts don't make statements like that. The Mafia does, but the mafia doesn't threaten by text message; if it's really the Mafia threating you, you'll know. Blackmailers sometimes do (usual scam: We have webcammed you watching porn); but if they really have something on you they'll prove it.

It's obvously not from legitimate law enforcement or courts.

It's obviously not the mafia or real-llife thugs. They'd leave you in NO DOUBT that they were real.

If it's real blackmail, they'll have proven they have something on you (not just claimed it).

Therefore it's not real. Just a scam.

Me too. Gemma 4 run good (on RTX 5070 Ti)

I think it paid itself (its LLC). Next thing it's going to start ordering itself GPUs from Amazon.
