本周“脱节指南”:聚焦AI颜值对决、全国网课瘫痪与科技生存焦虑

本周的《脱节指南》关注了多个网络热点:介绍名为“Omoggle”的线上颜值PK平台、揭露导致全国高校停课的幕后黑客组织、解析一段病毒式传播的AI音乐创作潮流,并探讨日常科技可能带来的生存隐患。

“颜值碾压”有了竞技场:Omoggle爆红

Omoggle网站近期热度飙升。所谓“mogging”,是Z世代和Alpha世代流行语,指在颜值上刻意碾压他人。例如,当一位男士在与女士交谈时,被一位更英俊的男士插话并“截胡”,这便是被“mogged”。Omoggle将这种颜值竞争游戏化:用户上传自己的面部照片,与另一用户进行AI对决。系统会分析双方五官特征,判定谁“碾压”了谁。它取名自已关停的随机聊天网站Omegle,但玩法更像早期的“Hot or Not”。更令人不安的是,胜负并非由用户投票决定,而是由一套旨在强化“非自愿独身者(incel)”价值观的AI算法裁决。

近十年来,“非自愿独身者”及“男性圈”群体炮制并传播了一套关于“女性审美”的庞大臆想系统。他们认为女性普遍追求特定的面部特征——如宽下巴、高颧骨等——若不具备则毫无机会。Omoggle正是他们试图自我说服的工具:女性拒绝他们,是因为“眼睑倾斜角”不达标,而非他们本身行为古怪可怖。

全美学校系统瘫痪:Canvas遭黑客突袭

上周,Canvas在线教学平台崩溃。对年长者而言,网站临时故障或许只是小麻烦,但对正在期末考试的Z世代和Alpha世代学生来说,这堪称“生活全面停摆”。Canvas掌控着全美绝大多数大学和高中的课表、作业、成绩等核心数据,黑客的袭击几乎让学术活动彻底中断。黑客组织“ShinyHunters”声称对此负责,并威胁若不支付赎金,将公开用户信息。所幸平台似乎已击退攻击,服务恢复,但隐患犹存。

“宝可梦”黑客新势力:ShinyHunters浮出水面

发动Canvas攻击的ShinyHunters,其名源自《宝可梦》中的稀有“闪光”精灵。安全专家指出,该组织专攻稀有数据。他们隶属于一个名为“The Com”的年轻黑客联盟,成员主要来自美英两国。与The Com内部其他与俄罗斯勒索软件组织合作的小组不同,ShinyHunters不搞系统加密勒索,而是采用“数据泄露勒索”:威胁若不付款,就公开海量数据。近期该组织异常活跃,已攻击过Ticketmaster、Wattpad、Pixlr、Bonobos、BigBasket、Mathway、Unacademy、MeetMindful等多个平台。

本周热传视频:AI“文字歌曲”

人工智能正全面接管人类创作。最新案例是TikTok上爆火的“文字歌曲”视频。操作很简单:将日常的微信聊天记录当作歌词,输入Suno或Udio等AI歌曲生成引擎,配上音乐和视频,博人一笑。这类视频音乐风格多样,但福音风格的戏剧性配乐与平淡琐碎的聊天内容形成的反差,效果最为突出。

Reddit热议:科技噩梦成真?

AI确实有趣。然而,年轻一代正花费大量时间,忧心现有技术可能在不久的将来毁灭人类。并非现在的焦虑比过去更多,而是可担心的选项变多了。过去只需担心核弹,而现在按Reddit上某个热门帖子的讨论,Z世代们正担忧数百种可能在几年甚至明天下午就爆发的科技噩梦,包括:AI失控、社交媒体操控舆论、基因编辑滥用、超级病毒泄漏、永久数字监控等等。

本周《落伍指南》详解了线上颜值比拼竞赛Omoggle,揭露了导致全国学校系统瘫痪的黑客事件幕后黑手。我们还关注了病毒式传播的AI音乐潮流,并探讨日常使用的科技可能如何毁灭全人类。

Omoggle上的颜值比拼竞技
Omoggle网站正在爆火。正如我在Z世代与A世代俚语词典中所写,"mogging"是指通过刻意或攻击性方式碾压他人颜值的行为:若你正与女士交谈,突然有位更英俊的年轻人站到你身边接管对话,你就被"mogged"了。Omoggle将这场颜值之争游戏化——用户上传面部照片进行玩家对战,AI会分析双方特征判定胜负。虽然网站名可能取自已关闭的聊天平台Omegle,但实际更像是"火辣与否"的残酷升级版。更令人不安的是,胜者不由用户投票决定,而是由被编程强化"非自愿独身者"思想的AI裁定。

过去十年间,非自愿独身者群体炮制并传播了大量关于女性审美标准的臆想。这个自诩了解女性却无法与女性正常相处的群体坚信,所有女性都在寻找特定面部特征:下颌宽厚、颧骨高耸等。若你不具备这些特征就毫无机会。Omoggle正是他们自我说服的工具——女性不愿交谈是因其"眼角倾斜角"不对,而非他们古怪可怕。

上周全美校园电脑集体宕机
对我们这代人来说,网站短暂瘫痪不过是小麻烦。但当Canvas在期末考试周中断服务时,这对Z世代与A世代学生而言简直是人生灾难。这个掌控全美高校与中学课程、作业、成绩等系统的学习管理平台遭黑客攻击,直接导致学术活动全面停摆。名为ShinyHunters的黑客组织威胁若不支付赎金就公开用户信息。所幸网站已击退黑客恢复运行——但能维持多久?

ShinyHunters:新生代黑客
攻陷Canvas的ShinyHunters组织名称源自宝可梦系列游戏。异色宝可梦极为稀有,安全专家指出该组织似乎专盯着珍贵数据。他们隶属于名为"The Com"的英美青年黑客联盟。虽然联盟内其他团体与俄罗斯勒索软件集团合作,但ShinyHunters独树一帜——他们专攻数据泄露勒索,即"不付钱就公开数据",而非传统"付钱解锁系统"模式。近期该组织异常活跃,已袭击Ticketmaster、Wattpad、Pixlr等平台。

本周病毒视频:文字情歌
人工智能对人类全领域的征服仍在继续。最新例证是TikTok上"文字情歌"视频的流行。操作很简单:将聊天记录输入Suno或Udio等歌曲生成引擎,配上音乐视频即可博君一笑。尽管视频涵盖多种音乐风格,福音音乐效果最佳——或许因日常对话与恢弘配乐形成的反差萌。例如:
彩蛋:因常与青春期子女爆笑聊天,我也自制了一版。
若想听AI全天候歌唱,可搜索#SongText标签,那里有近3万条作品。

Reddit热议科技噩梦
AI确实有趣对吧?不过无关的是:年轻人正忧心忡忡——现有科技很可能在不远的将来毁灭人类。并非现在的焦虑比你们年轻时更甚,而是"灭世选项"变多了。从前只需担心核弹,但据Reddit这个帖子,年轻人担忧未来数年甚至明天下午可能爆发的数百种科技噩梦,包括:
(此处列举了多项科技灾难场景)
这些话题我能说一整天。当然若你嫌操心的事不够多,大可直接去爬楼阅读原帖。

This week's Out-of-Touch guide explains the online mogging competition that is Omoggle and examines who was behind a hack that brought learning to a screeching halt nationwide. We also look at a viral AI music trend, and discuss how technology we use every day might kill us all.
Mogging get organized on Omoggle
The Omoggle website is blowing up. As you can read in my glossary of Gen A and Gen Z slang, "mogging" is the act of being more attractive than someone else, usually in an intentional or aggressive way: If you're a young gentleman having a conversation with a woman, and a more handsome young man stands next to you and takes over, you have officially been mogged. Omoggle gamifies that conflict of attractiveness. It's a player-vs.-player contest where a user uploads a picture of their face and pits it against another user. An AI then analyzes the competitors' features to determine who has been mogged and who has done the mogging. It may be named after defunct chat site Omegle, but Omoggle is more like Hot or Not. Except it's more disturbing because the winner of the attractive-off isn't determined by other users' votes, but by an AI that was programmed to reinforce incel ideas.
Over the last 10 years or so, incels and manosphere types have developed and spread a massive, ad-hoc, shared delusion about what women find attractive. Despite being a self-selected group of men who don't relate well to women, incels believe they understand what women find attractive better than women themselves. All women, the theory goes, are looking for a specific set of facial features—a thick jaw, high cheekbones, etc.—and if you don't have them, you have no chance, so why try? Omoggle is really part of incels' ongoing effort to convince themselves that the reason women won't talk to them is because the geometry of their Canthal Tilt is off, not because they're creepy weirdos.
School computers went down across the country last week
A website going down temporarily is probably a minor inconvenience to us older people, but when Canvas went down this week, right in the middle of finals, it was a full-life disruption for many in Generations Z and A. Canvas is the learning management system that controls just about every college and high school in the country's schedules, homework, grades, and more, so hackers taking it out pretty much shut down academia. The hacker group responsible, called ShinyHunters, threatened to release user information if an unspecified ransom wasn't paid, but fortunately, the site seems to have beaten the hackers back, and Canvas is functioning again—but for how long?
Shinyhunters: the new generation of hackers
Shinyhunters, the group that pulled off the Canvas hack, took its name from the Pokémon franchise. Shiny Pokémon are rare, and according to security experts, Shinyhunters seem to focus on rare data. The group is thought to be part of a large affiliation of younger hackers called "The Com" who are mostly from the U.S. and the UK. While other groups within The Com collaborate with Russian ransomware groups, Shinyhunters don't. They're about data leak extortion, i.e.: "We'll release all this data if you don't pay us" instead of the usual ransomware's message of "we locked your systems and will free them when you pay us." Shinyhunters have been especially active lately, having targeted Ticketmaster, Wattpad, Pixlr, Bonobos, BigBasket, Mathway, Unacademy, MeetMindful, and more.
Viral videos of the week: text songs
Artificial intelligence's takeover of all human endeavors continues. The latest evidence: the popularity of "text songs" videos on TikTok. The concept is simple: You enter text conversations as lyrics into song generation engines like Suno or Udio, make it into a song and video, and make people laugh. While there are lots of different musical styles represented in these videos, gospel tends to work best; maybe it's the contrast of the mundanity of the text messages with the dramatic nature of the music. Here are a few examples:
Bonus: Because I sometimes have funny conversations with my teenage child, I made my own.
If you'd like to listen to a computer sing to you all day, check out the SongText hashtag where you can find almost 30,000 more examples.
Reddit discusses technological nightmares
AI sure is fun, isn't it? Unrelated: Young people spend a lot of time thinking about how the technology we've already developed will likely kill us in the near future. It's not necessarily that there's more anxiety now than when you were young, but there are more options. Realistically, you only had to worry about nukes falling, but, judging by this Reddit thread, young people are worried about hundreds of different kinds of technological nightmares that might happen in the next few years or tomorrow afternoon, including:
I could literally go on all day, but I won't. You can read the thread yourself if you lack things to worry about.
