The title of the primer “ScamGPT: GenAI and the Automation of Fraud,” by Lana Swartz, Alice E. Marwick and Kate Larson, surrounded by line drawings of a dreamy-looking woman, a man holding a phone, fish hooks ensnaring various technological objects, and a hand holding a phone displaying an AI program alongside some cash.

📣 Just published! This primer by @lanalanalana.bsky.social, @alicetiara.bsky.social and Kate Larson maps what we know about generative AI’s role in scams, the communities most at risk, and the broader economic and cultural shifts at play. 1/4 datasociety.net/library/scam...

AI is a force multiplier for scams, and there is SO much we' urgentlyneed to learn in order to know what to do about it

how are we to breathe the whirling of the universe, the sema, when no air is left on planet earth, to recite, to remember all the beautiful names of the heart beating, the nafs (ego) yearning for the nefes (breath)? #konya #smog #breathing #mevlana #rumi #poem #green #nafs #ego #nefes #breath

where the "soul" breathes, yet lungs have troubles; where the green dome invites thirsty seekers longing to turn round and round,
yet no green lines on the horizon
grey dust bites on frosty, cold floors.where have all the trees gone, mevlana? #konya #smog #breathing #mevlana #rumi #poem #green
