- cess11 2y agoMost people are criminals. Speeding, piracy, dubious porn, and so on. In a wider sense consumption of products or other use of criminally exploited labour. At the same time, most people are more clever than one tends to expect.

Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted. With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone." -Justice Robert H Jackson
- ToucanLoucan 2y agoWhy bother operating a much more complex LLM stack when you're already raking in cash from confused boomers trying to pay the IRS off with iTunes gift cards? Their system works. They'll take up machine learning powered tools once the old farts all die off/go broke and they need more complicated scams for more technology-savvy victims. I'm being glib here but also if you're the type of person who gets texts from the IRS from a number you've never seen and take it at face value that you can pay off your overdue tax bill with gift cards... like, you are already the perfect victim for this sort of scam. They don't need to be good, they just need you to self identify and leap right into the trap.
