There's more than racing motorbikes over here. And this weekend the #IsleOfMan hosts the World Tin Bath Racing and the World Downhill Skateboarding Championship 🛁 🛹

It's been a difficult week for weather on the #IsleOfMan with one #IsleOfManTT race cancelled for this year* and a few others looking unlikely to run - so well done to whoever arranged the rainbow just as the #RedArrows appeared in the bay! (* plus both sidecar races)

this is spearfishing, which is incredibly effective. AI gives any old bad actor the ability to target victims with a high degree of personalization, and polish that was impossible two or three years ago. people expect scams to look like scams, and when they don’t, they get hustled

There's a tendency to look at these after the fact and go "I would never fall for this" but I have definitely gotten emails from journalists or public figures I don't know, done 5-ish minutes of googling and replied. At first it looks like a totally harmless, plausible message!

Yes, I know I shouldn’t use Chat GPT as a supposedly convenient alternative to a search engine, but just a reminder (not least to myself) in three screengrabs that it’s total dogshit
