AI generated SPAM is beginning to leak through. It’s getting pretty personalised and harder to distinguish from real email.
What does the future of this look like?

If you knew that, it would have been helpful to share that information rather than make a joke about it. I spent the time between my reply to you and now trying to actually find the account in question and still haven’t.

Try looking at legally required ingredient and nutritional labels on food and you’re in for a shock, light grey on white, yellow on white, label across a square corner, it’s clearly intentional and nobody seems to care.

Thank you for documenting your journey. Regardless of the outcome, in this case excellent, it’s what helps the entire community because it provides information and inspiration to the next amateur who finds something odd in their shack.
- Comment on Minute by Minute Recreation of Apocalyptic Nepal Flood 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t watched this, but I can tell you without any doubt that this is absolutely rubbish.
The disaster zone is still in rescue mode, infrastructure is pretty much wiped out, humanitarian aid hasn’t even started arriving and there’s no evidence of scientists being on the ground to physically inspect the area to figure out exactly what happened and how.
Mind you, that’s not stopping the armchair “experts” from making YouTube videos, complete with Assumed Intelligence slop, that explain everything as fact, rather than the fiction it so clearly is.
- Comment on How LoRa (ExpressLRS) Drone Receivers Work 4 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s an excellent explanation, which is why I shared it 27 days ago 😁
Mind you, to be fair, our instance was having some synchronisation issues which might explain why your post is 42 minutes old, or why you didn’t see mine.
Either way, LoRa is pretty cool.
