Ask HN: Got contacted by LLM scam-bot on Telegram. How to DoS it?

6 pointsby t0mkover 1 year ago
It&#x27;s got my contact from a thematic group I&#x27;m in. I can see that the messages are LLM-generated. It wants me to either visit a website or share personal data.<p>The bot must be API-based (OpenAI) or built on open-weights model. In other words money-expensive or computational resource-expensive. I wonder if it&#x27;s possible to engage it enough to cause some harm.<p>What to write to spin it as much as possible? What&#x27;s a heavy prompt? Or sequence of prompts. I&#x27;m a programmer and I think I could code the Telegram messaging.

Denial of service is a crime, even if you do it to criminals.
