I recently received an interesting email that turned out to be an LLM-powered funneling scam. Here I describe the story and how LLMs also turned out to be a powerful forensic tool. russpoldrack.substack.com/p/digging-in...

We had a great presentation at our lab meeting this week about a coding error that cost a trainee a good bit of time. It was a post-mortem with lots of useful lessons learned, particularly about how reliance on AI agents can sometimes make it harder to find errors. Highly recommended activity!
