Christophe HUGE. Don’t miss the updates we’ll be sharing on this series at http://newpress.com (7 days ago)
 
 
Christophe Loved this story from my friend ‪@jposner‬ and his show ‪@DreamOn‬ . It's a deep dive into a program in Orlando, Florida designed to stop shootings before they happen — not with futuristic surveillance tech, but with a small team of mediators, many of them formerly incarcerated. A fascinating look at what it actually takes to prevent violence — watch here: (3 weeks ago)
 
 
Christophe Have you ever gotten a weirdly specific ad that made you certain your phone was listening to you? I want to hear about it: https://forms.gle/oaQ5jFdSdHwV2dJC8 You can describe it in the comments, but what I'd really love is a short video from you. Your video may be used in an upcoming episode. In your response, tell me about a moment you ever felt like your phone was listening to you, and your best guess about what actually happened. Thanks! (4 months ago)
 
 
Christophe 300k subs!!! THANK YOU all so much, it means the world that you’re here 🥲 To celebrate, I’d love to hear what channels you’re obsessed with right now.

crazy you sent Tinder a heads up about a massive security flaw and they gave you a generic response without any concern for the issue

I first thought that the last photo was to warn other scammers that this was a ‘scam’ profile so they don’t waste each other’s time.

Tech companies dont care about your safety. They care about APPEARING to be safe, so you FEEL safe, and keep using their services

So essentially, AI is verifying that there is in fact a real person trying to scam you out of your money.

Anything weird on social media that doesn't make sense is probably a scam.
kz.irudimen (6 months ago)
This is ridiculous, a verification this weak is much much worse than having no verification.

simplest UX solution: always show the verified photo first in the gallery

Good on Bumble for actually caring about user’s safety.

Oh man, the final photo is also a screener, they’re trying to filter out the people that would notice that and would probably be too smart for the scam.

This might be one of the only situations where you can actually see the face of a scammer and possibly identify them. Super interesting

Verification this bad almost makes you think Tinder is getting in on the romance scams themselves
guy_roh (6 months ago)
Once again it's left to journalists to actually make public the issues of social apps used by millions (or even billions) instead of them fixing it.

i hate how they keep calling the strange images "drawings" when theyre CLEARLY AI generated.
arnthorsnaer (5 months ago)
Require that more than half of your photos pass verification & automatically show these before others. Basically force the verified photos to show first.
caleblatreille8224 (6 months ago)
The fact that the actual faces of these forced-labour scammers are trapped in the images of other people within these fake profiles signals that we're living in a very deeply dystopic, Picture-of-Dorian-Gray society.

We need an investigation about the fake job postings on Linkedin

1:14 “No one is gonna believe me that this is a thing”—- an increasingly prevalent feeling in the Dead Internet Era
miy-vp8dz (5 months ago)
the craziest thing about this is the idea that people are still taking Tinder seriously
