There's an influx of GitHub repos where you get tagged on discussions/issues with the attempt to trick you into crypto schemes, e.g. reveal your wallet(s).

I had one yesterday and reported to GitHub. Unlike Meta, they actually do take action and it took <12h to take the user and the repos down. So you can report malicious repos to GitHub and they will be acted on.

ICYMI: Swedish publishers back Meta's expulsion from IAB - and it's just the start: Aller Media, Bonnier News, and Schibsted endorsed IAB Sweden's expulsion of Meta on March 12 over fake ads, citing SEK 136 billion in fraud revenue and consumer harm on Facebook. ppc.land/swedish-publishers-ba

I would like to thank the nascent "AI" industry for their significant contributions to all manner of artistic and creative endeavours in today's society: writing, coding, art, music, and everything else. [1]

Because they have single-handedly created entire new markets for all of these things - new categories such as "writing with guaranteed no AI", "coding with guaranteed no AI", "art with guaranteed no AI", "music with guaranteed no AI", etc. Without them, these whole classes of creative output would simply not exist.

[1] They are also innovating in the world of financial and investor fraud, but I'm not considering those areas in this post.

<p><em>This is the story of an investor who does not want to be identified, as told to Rappler. This is based solely on the individual investor&#8217;s personal experience in connection with cases being investigated by the government and widely reported in the media. </em></p>



<p><em>This article is not a substitute for legal advice from a licensed lawyer.&nbsp;</em></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<p class="has-drop-cap">Everyone told me that I would never get my entire investment back and should just settle for whatever I could get. They were just being realistic. By then, multiple news reports had detailed allegations that the&nbsp;MFT Group of Companies, a private equity firm established by Maria Francesca &#8220;Mica&#8221; Tan in 2014, had operated a Ponzi-like scheme, sold unregistered securities, and was facing syndicated estafa charges in court.</p>



<p>I was going to be one in a long list of disgruntled investors waiting and hoping to get paid.&nbsp;</p>



<p>When the checks from MFT started bouncing, there were explanations and apologies. Zoom calls immediately followed. Promises were made and formalized in payment schedules computed in spreadsheets. There were reassurances that while their 138 bank accounts and other assets had been frozen, payments would resume once court issues were resolved. </p>

What do we do in the future? How do we educate humans such that they don't become such easy marks? Hit the nuke button and let the 🦠 begin again? Well, that may happen. Not happy about it, but it may happen. Let's have a better spin of the wheel...
