Want to piss off your IT department? Are your links not malicious looking enough?

This tool is guaranteed to help with that!

What is this and what does it do?

This is a tool that takes any link and makes it look malicious. It works on the idea of a redirect. Much like https://tinyurl.com/ for example. Where tinyurl makes an url shorter, this site makes it look malicious.

Place any link in the below input, press the button and get back a fishy(phishy, heh...get, it?) looking link. The fishy link doesn't actually do anything, it will just redirect you to the original link you provided.

Imagine listening to your favourite podcast. You rewind it to go over something you missed, but each time you replay it, it’s somehow different.

This sounds frustrating, right? But, it’s likely this is what would happen if we just stuffed large language models into screen readers, in a lazy attempt to avoid having to publish accessible content.

I’ve had this debate a few times on LinkedIn, but it came up again recently, after the awesome Access: Given conference, where Helen Dutson and Holly Tuke shared an example of emoji misuse. It was an RNIB post with clapping hands inserted between every word to highlight a common problem.

Bristol band uses live facial recognition on concertgoers to create uncomfortable art about surveillance culture

• Massive Attack deployed live facial recognition technology during concerts, projecting audience biometric data
• Band transformed invisible surveillance into uncomfortable artistic statement about digital control systems
• Unclear consent protocols and data storage raise ethical questions about surveillance critique

Imagine you’re vibing to “Teardrop” when suddenly your face appears on the massive LED screen behind the band. Not as a fun crowd shot—as processed data in Massive Attack’s real-time facial recognition system. Welcome to the most uncomfortable concert experience of 2025.

Dans ce podcast produit par l'Agence nationale de la cohésion des territoires, nous partirons à la rencontre de tiers lieux engagés dans la transition écologique et implantés dans des territoires ruraux. L’ensemble des huit épisodes permettra de découvrir comment les tiers lieux agissent pour la transition écologique et comment cette démarche leur permet de redynamiser leurs territoires d’implantation et d’engager l’ensemble des parties prenantes

(habitants, collectivités territoriales, acteurs privés…) dans une démarche vertueuse.

On 30th October 2019, Plexal Innovation Centre hosted a celebration of 50 years of the Internet at Here East in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Moderated by Jim Boulton, the keynote speaker was Alan Kay, who spoke about the lessons to be learned from the culture at ARPA / Xerox PARC that fostered so many technological breakthroughs in such a short period of time.

Pros and Cons of "Generative AI is a Parasitic Cancer"

Pros

• "Generative AI is a Parasitic Cancer" provides a case study on search engines and the effect AI has had on its results, followed by a critical perspective on the ethics of AI from an emotional and personal standpoint
• Her argument is more from an emotional and storytelling perspective, rather than the usual financial or environmental claims about the issues of generative AI, which may provide new insight into why people may be against this technology.
• Freya managed to release a lower effort edited video, which means she's likely making progress on the crippling perfectionism which has thwarted several videos in the past

Cons

• Freya covers topics that may be considered depressing to some, including AI and mental health
• Unlike other videos on YouTube, this video does not contain the usual math content you may be used to
• The comment section for this video in particular is unlikely to be fruitful for furthering the topic of AI ethics
• The inflammatory title means this is likely low quality content
• The video lacks music, except for one place where she used a very outdated song she created as a student, for a game project that wasn't very well received by a jury of peers.
• The thumbnail contains a hand-manipulated version of an AI generated picture, originally found on google, which seems to suggest some level of hypocrisy on Freya's part, as well as not disclosing the original location of the green tentacle image at https://stablediffusionweb.com/image/...
• Freya and her cats make money based on clicks and direct support online, and is incentivized to make strong statements in order to build an audience of sycophantic supporters on her Patreon page / acegikmo , which is undermining her message about greed and profit motives

The Bottom Line

generative AI is a parasitic cancer

In Summary

we don't need this

In Conclusion

let's just not
