What an interesting task.

I don't know what it says about me, but the first thing that came to mind was doing the grandchild trick a million times. This includes automatically finding pensioners and calling them and putting them under pressure. Handing over the money could be the problem.

I could imagine that the tools mentioned would already prevent this.

Idk what it says about me (I guess I’m more evil than you?) but the first thing I thought was “how could AI be used to trick a nuclear armed state into thinking an enemy nuclear strike is impending, forcing their hand to launch their own first strike”

I could think of a few sneaky ways. Actually maybe I’ll write up a PDF and submit it to this little competition.

Not only, but it's an extremely well-known attack in this space.
