3/ What I find scary is the super-additive combination of good deepfakes & creative fraudsters.
I think of phone fraud & #phishing as having exceptionally tight feedback loops.
Nature of the operation is to instantly learn what works & fails.
And then refine.
You can patch a phone, but not a person.
Which leaves human behavior littered with foreverday vulnerabilities.
Urgency, fear, curiosity, greed, authority ..
Fraud & #phishing constantly refine how to exploit them.
