Modern IoT Crime

We are all familiar with fraud and the various forms it takes. However as with what I shall call classic criminal fraud (which do still exist and criminals still conduct classical fraud), I will hereto call modern fraud. In recent years we have noticed an increase in the use of technology. Everything being connected. Today, almost everything you own is connected to the internet or can be connected to the internet. I am not just mentioning smart wearables such as smartwatches but smart everything. This allows criminals to adopt new methods to commit crime and this varies

State of Software based Protection

In the past somre of the most trust software were replaced by newer more effective software that assist in fighting malware attacks and mitigate infections. Sometimes you need to become the very thing that you are against. Some of the most effective solutions understand this which is one of the many reasons why older popular brands are not nearly as effective as some of those which are. So understanding how modern protection works is PIVOTAL.

Dark Side of Streaming

Perhaps the most used streaming platform in use today is none other than YouTube. However this platform have adopted draconian policies and practices within the last few years which are concerning on many levels. Everything from enforcing ads to unfair and biased treatment of content creators. YouTube is no longer what it used to be and in this section I will be explaining all of this. They also engage in social engineering. There are reasons to still use it yes but there are reasons why those considering creating content should rather consider alternative platforms

AI - Not here to help you but to replace you

WARNING: THIS IS WHERE THINGS BECOME VERY DARK. DARK IN TERMS OF THE FUTURE NOT IN TERMS OF CONTENT. THERE IS NO TURNING BACK In this section I will be explain how, in the near future, more and more jobs will be replaced by AI. Some of the jobs that people thought will never be replaced have already been replaced and is in the process of being replaced. This is industry wide. This is not fear mongering since I make use of real cases and studies. When ChatGPT arrived not that long ago people were provided with a text prompt similar to search engines but questions are provided that was far more effective. This was one of the few advancements of using ChatGPT. Of course what people did not know was that it was just another experiment. One which tested humans.

Today, also, only a mere two years later we have tech based on the former that are able to

Create synthetic human voice from text using highly advanced AI which is replacing voice actors. They have already started using this is animation movies and I provide evidence for this.
Sona AI. This is a technology which allows anyone with access to create music regardless of Genre to create music which is so advanced that out performs the best artists regardless of genre. Celebrities such have Scarlett Johansson has hired a lawyer after ChatGPT debuted the voice of a new interactive assistant.

Bottom-line. In just such a short time we have gone from ChatGPT and bloggers making use of it to generate either in part or complete posts to technologies that will have you reconsider how you view AI. Nothing less than an ontological shock.

UNDERSTANDING HOW MODERN CRIMINALS TAKE CONTROL

Sim Swapping - How Sim Swap Hackers Steal Millions

In this video I explain how hackers are able to steal millions of dollars and access sensitive data in peoples accounts that are secured with SMS 2 factor authentication and how you can defend yourself from sim swapping attacks by using 2 factor authentication.

THE US BANS KASPERSKY

In this video I discuss the US Department of Commerce decision to ban Kaspersky and all of it's companies products and services in the United States.

DARK SIDE OF YOUTUBE

YouTube "Ad Injections" Are Breaking Ad Blockers

In this video I discuss how YouTube is experimenting with injecting targeted ads directly into content to bypass modern adblockers. We may be heading into an era where machine learning adblockers are required to block these kinds of ads, and they may be vulnerable to data poising like other AI models.

YouTube Is Censoring YOU!!!

YouTube definitely doesn't want you talking about things they don't like. That's why they secretly and repeatedly turned off comments on our recent episode about Sound of Freedom. But there is something you can do to fight back. .

YOUTUBE PROTECT CRIMINALS

The SSSniperWolf situation took a turn for the worse... SSSniperWolf was recently exposed yet again for not only stealing content, but trying to steal the identity of another female reaction YouTuber. SSSniperWolf would be stopped, but there are obvious reasons why she will likely stay on the platform and be successful for years to come.

She a prominent YouTuber accused of various misdeeds, including stealing content, doxing, criminal charges, and how Youtube supports extremely toxic Youtubers because of one single factor... money! See, this Youtuber has over 34 000 000 subscriptions which means A TON of money for youtube. She can disregard community rules (she did many times) yet if a smaller channel with say 50 000 subs did the same, that person would be gone.

This content itself is reaction content. Meaning, all she is doing is watching content created by others and react to it. The reactions is simple like one-liners and worse than that even is that she is reading from a script

A closer look at the channels producing news on YouTube – and the videos themselves

AI Video YouTubers are scamming you with AI content, don’t believe them.

I came across an article from Vice which exposed the shocking truth about AI-generated books on Amazon's Kindle. But how come the idea of making money by AI is everywhere? Every AI Youtuber seems to be pushing the concept of making thousands of dollars through AI with minimal effort. I also speak about the rise of faceless channels made with AI and whether this is a good or bad thing on YouTube.

I would recommend that you watch the other links below also. The last one is from a well-known Youtuber. It explains how this 'fake' content is destroying the work put in by those who do not make use of these tools and essentially Youtube will become void from content most want to see.

TAKEAWAYS

Many think creating content on youtube is a good way to make money. It is not. There are so many channels on youtube that you will be better off either using Rumble which is an alternative to youtube that supports new creators and do not have these MANY problems that youtube has. You may not have realized until now but Youtube deletes comments that is not in violation with their guidelines and rules but because it contains keywords they do not want other people to see. They support criminals, so if you are a Premium user then you support that behavior. So, I need to mention this because there is nothing wrong to create content for a side income. But Rumble.com may be small but more and more Youtubers are moving over to Rumble. Rumble is the best alternative. You will see less content but the content you will see will be from people not AI.

THE DARK SIDE OF CHATGPT - How Hackers Use AI and ChatGPT to Make Millions

Hackers are individuals or groups who use their technical skills and knowledge to gain unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, and personal information. They often have malicious intent, using their abilities to steal sensitive information, cause harm to individuals or organizations, and spread misinformation.

In recent years, advancements in AI technology, such as ChatGPT and deepfakes, have provided hackers with new tools to carry out their attacks.

ChatGPT, a conversational AI model developed by OpenAI, can be used by hackers to carry out phishing attacks by posing as a trustworthy entity and tricking victims into providing sensitive information or downloading malware. This is often done through chatbots or messaging platforms, where the hacker can impersonate a bank, government agency, or other trustworthy organization. The advanced language capabilities of ChatGPT make it easier for hackers to carry out these attacks in a convincing manner, increasing the likelihood of success.

Deepfakes, on the other hand, are AI-generated videos or images that can be used to manipulate people into believing false information. Hackers can use deepfakes to spread misinformation and propaganda, or even to impersonate someone else online. For example, a hacker could create a fake video of a celebrity endorsing a certain product, which could lead to financial harm or loss of reputation for the celebrity.

DARK FOREST OF THE INTERNET Generative A.I - We Aren’t Ready

New generative A.I breakthroughs are happening almost every week, it seems. The big question is; Are we ready for it? Noted Science Zaddy Kyle Hill explains what’s coming, the “dark forest” theory of the internet, and the steps we humans can take to pass the “Reverse Turing Test.”

This is one of the most important videos you have to watch

CONCERNING AND INCREASING JOB LOSS AS RESULT OF AI

While there are many problems we face. One of the biggest would be how AI have already started to replace jobs globally. This will only increase. It is important to understand that this is not speculative but happening as we speak. This section explains the reality and what you need to focus on in terms of adapting or considering careers choices.

Why Widespread Tech Layoffs Keep Happening

The tech sector is having a big 2024. Nvidia just crushed earnings expectations. The AI boom remains in full swing. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index is up more than 8 percent year-to-date.

Which Jobs Will Survive AI?

In this video I do a HIGHLY experimental exercise to see which jobs will survive the next 3 - 5 years. Please be aware that this may be wildly inaccurate so PLEASE don’t freak out and take things too seriously. Feel free to leave your opinions below and point out things that maybe I missed but please don't come after me k I have feelings too

Artificial Intelligence Is (ACTIVELY) Eliminating These Jobs Forever!

These Jobs Are Most At Risk Of Being Replaced By Artificial Intelligence! Layoffs are on the rise, and one of the major reasons is the rise of AI and ChatGPT in our workplace. Companies are aggressively looking at ways to cut costs, and AI is a major strategy to reduce headcount. Is your job in danger?

AI 'stole' our voices. Actors show CNN comparison of their voices and alleged ‘illegal’ AI versions

Voice actors Linnea Sage and Paul Skye Lehrman say they recorded their voices for a client who hired them for “academic research” and “tests for radio ads.” Years later, the couple were shocked to discover “AI versions” of their voices. In a video demonstration, they showed CNN’s Clare Duffy why they believe their voices were “stolen.”

The voice actors’ lawsuit against Lovo, the company they claim is behind the AI voices, is just the latest in a recent string of legal actions brought against various tech companies by creatives, writers and artists who say their work was used without their permission to train AI systems that could ultimately compete with them. Such lawsuits have added to a growing wave of concerns over how the training of AI models, which requires huge swaths of data, could run afoul of copyright and intellectual property laws.

Killing the Music Industry - Generative AI music - SUNO AI

This showcases why the music industry will be replaced by AI. Jazz, Heavy Metal, Pop, Trip Hop, Blues, Synthwave, Black Metal, and Dance Music. No Genre is safe. Furthermore, those who have access to this tool can use the exact same lyrics and generate 'real' music using any of the genres or even mix between Genres. There is no fine-tuning needed, no understanding of ANYTHING related to making music or using software. You enter the lyrics. It creates the song. You can pump out endless music which normally would take a band MONTHS to bring out an album

Sure you have the option to use advanced settings. Voice cloning insofar as to bring deceased artists back to live only to use their voice as the vocal artist. Or have Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra doing a song together. This clip is only an example. I will not be sharing the links to test these tools

Scarlett Johansson’s feud with OpenAI

Such lawsuits have added to a growing wave of concerns over how the training of AI models, which requires huge swaths of data, could run afoul of copyright and intellectual property laws.

TAKEAWAYS

These are just some examples of jobs are being replaced by AI, and jobs that will be replaced by AI. Some never thought that acting can be replaced by AI. Some never thought coding can be replaced by AI. Virtually every job will be replaced by AI in the next few years. It is not a case of 'if it will happen' but rather what opportunities will be left. Some remain ignorent to the fact of this reality. A mere 3 years ago the most advanced kind of AI we had was ChatGPT. But today we have Generative AI that can create music, art and video that is not on par with the best people but superior. If you go online and do the research you will find videos of celebrities narrating a video but it is just person with access to these technologies who is essentially impersonating that celebrity and YT is allowing this.
