I stopped reading a few paragraphs in.

I get the point of the article. Be careful running other people's code on your machine.

After understanding that, there's no point to continue to read when a human barely even touched the article.

I found the details of how the attack was constructed to be interesting.

Yes, it's an informative and important article. I think the complaints here are absurd. Hopefully the people not reading it for silly reasons won't become the victims of similar social engineering.

I find all the whining about the AI help to be far more annoying and distracting than the AI itself

Agree. People need to chill out. I thought there might be some discussion in the comments about the scam. Unfortunately, no. Complete waste of time to read and much more annoying than the original article.

Between that, the seemingly excessive skepticism it happened, and "lol blockchain was your first mistake", I half-wondered if it wasn't a deliberate effort to dilute the alarm bells that we should all learn from here

Then I had a different thought: perhaps it's a mental defense mechanism at the unease at realizing how plausible it would be for many of us to fall prey to this scam

Anyway. Bizarre.

Easy to fix - don't publish AI Slop, and we can have an interesting discussion

[jibal]

Intelligent and intellectually honest people can have an interesting discussion about articles that the author used LLM to clean up.

There's a difference between "AI slop" and AI copyediting

[redherring22]

This isn't a groundbreaking article. We already knew about this kind of scam, so why trudge through an article written by an LLM doing its best Linkedin grifter impression?
