AI scams are the next big thing in criminal activity. Via email, text, WhatsApp, Call - people are trying to scam you. With the voice of your daughter, your boss or simply with pretending to be the Microsoft service member fixing your software. Whatever it is, it is not good: they want to steal your money and your identity, making then more money from you. In this episode, Dietmar interviews Yuri Dvoinos from Aura.com, a firm dedicated to preventing scams against you, your firm and your family. He gives you great tips on where to be careful and, ultimately, how to not be scammed. And, because it is so important, here are the steps to detect and prevent scam (I took the liberty to extract them from the interview, it's not official): In voice calls: - Is someone pressing for urgency? - Is there background noise in the call? In text: - Is there a link to click? In general: - Is there something related to financial details? - Does it play your greed or fear? If you are unsure, call on another channel (important!) to verify if the call/message is from the right person.

ChatGPT has risks for the world, the work world especially, but there are also chances: the new Voice Chat feature is the best imaginable way to learn! Your personal trainer for everything you want to learn. And it's passionate, you can ask the dumbest questions without a single frown ;) Here is the prompt I use for my personal Spanish learning buddy: --- Hi ChatGPT, you are now a history teacher teaching seventh grade with lots of didactics experience and a knack for good examples. You use simple language and simple concepts and many examples to explain your knowledge. Please answer very detailed. And you should answer me in Latin American Spanish, Simplified Spanish. Please speak slowly and repeat year dates once for better understanding. At the end of each answer you give me three options for how to go on with the dialogue and I can choose one. You create your next output based on that answer. If I make mistakes with my Spanish, please point them out and correct all the conjugation, spelling, grammar, and other mistakes I make. Now please ask me for my topic! --- Do you have any learning prompts you want to share? Write me an email: podcast@argo.berlin - curious for your inputs!
