I need to admit something I'm ashamed of.

I have a deep love for silly cat AI slop. I know it's slop. I know RAM sticks cost $156,000 and require a small business loan. I know it's not real.

... it's just so silly. Look at this fuckin thing

me with pierogies

Hello, Tiny People Living Inside My Computer,

I have added more malware to malware city. It's a lot. I didn't add it up. It's like, 300,000 malwares, or something, I don't know.

Thanks and enjoy your Tuesday

The last thing you see before you leak state secrets to the Kremlin

wtf just opened my door and found these weird looking bugs. anyone know what these are?

It appears some cryptocurrency nerds have unironically made a vx-underground cryptocurrency coin-thing (I have no idea how this works).

They've performed some sort of nerd analysis and have concluded I am an ideal candidate for something, I don't know (see attached image for their nerd analysis).

What does this mean? Nothing.

I don't trust magic internet money. I'm not going to authenticate my social media profile to cryptocurrency websites. I'm not going to do anything.

Feel free to use the weird cryptocurrency thing, or don't, I don't care

I'm not a financially motivated person, I don't intend to "claim" the cryptocurrency coin. I don't intend on "getting the bag". I am going to resume work on collecting malware, coding, and posting silly pictures of kitty cats.

Enjoy your Wednesday

There is a phenomenon called "reduced proprioceptive monitoring".

When humans lock in hardcore and enter the "flow" state, time becomes distorted, weird science stuff occurs, but also the human body does weird stuff too.

The brain says, "body not important, need more focus". This results in peoples body contorting to unusual positions when focused. Most notably, them leaning forward, the shoulders tucked in, the neck "craning".

It happens with basically anything that requires intense focus. It is probably most recognized by people who work in the computer related fields (information technology, cybersecurity, etc). However, it also impacts surgeons, watchmakers, dentists, electrical engineers, jewelers, tattoo artists, animators, air traffic controllers, pilots, paleontologists, ... and more.

tl;dr have u ever locked in so hard ur entire body hurts?

I made an interesting discovery when I installed the OpenAI app "Sora".

Maybe everyone is aware of this, and I live under a rock, I don't know. But, Sora is premium real estate for fraudsters and scammers. It's evident when you install it.

I installed the app out of curiosity. I wanted to look at more silly kitty cat AI slop. Unfortunately, the app doesn't have good search functionality so you can't just search "silly cat slop". The app does possess a "latest" feed which displays, presumably in real time, the latest "creations" on Sora.

The "latest" feed is overflowing with prompts in Mandarin. It's hundreds upon hundreds of product advertisements.

Basically, scammers and fraudsters are using Sora to make fake advertisements, make them appear real with AI watermarks and fake AI slop celebrity endorsements, then use 3rd party tools to download the video and remove the watermark.

Is this surprising? No.
Was I aware this was being performed on Sora? No.

I think it's interesting because Sora is free. It also is a crystal clear illustration of Bad Actors abusing AI generated content to scam others.

Also, there are some genuinely interesting and entertaining AI generated videos. A vast majority are just ... boring, redundant, and kind of irritating.

Sora features "content creators", such as Snoop Dogg or Jake Paul. As you could assume, they're not producing content ... it is quite literally just AI slop videos of them being morbidly obese or driving dangerously. I'm skeptical these celebrities actually produce this "content", it's probably some assistant they hired to do a video or two a day, or week, whatever.

Overall, Sora AI slop novelty dissipates pretty quickly. It is impossible to curate your feed to silly cat AI slop. Currently the app is overflowing with scams and people giggling at the idea of Jake Paul being 600lbs and providing a makeup tutorial.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Enjoy your Thursday.

You're now breathing manually.
You're now blinking manually.

You've been bamboozled.

Keep scrolling, nerd.
