Sous couvert d’un simple vote en ligne, des escrocs piègent les victimes, détournent leur compte et s’en servent pour atteindre d’autres contacts.

Repérée en octobre dernier par le site Kaspersky, l’arnaque du faux concours de vote s’est d’abord propagée en Europe, pour arriver en Suisse ces dernières semaines, faisant déjà des victimes selon certains témoignages recueillis par notre rédaction.

Le scénario est bien rodé. Des escrocs envoient des messages WhatsApp depuis des contacts connus en demandant aux victimes de voter pour «l’enfant d’un ami» dans un concours de danse.

What could've been

So some, I'm guessing all the 🐘 in the room, want to pardon a child rapist and pedophile.

They got a lot worse over the years, and they're exist to extract money, not to provide a service to its users.

Especially as a human can normally consent to death but a pet can't

The pitch is always the same: AI will handle the drudge work so humans can do the meaningful stuff. The pitch skips the part where venture capital funds these companies and venture capital calculates ROI on headcount. Your productivity gain is their labor cost reduction. Those are the same event viewed from different spreadsheets.

When a technology is designed to make companies richer by making workers redundant, calling it a worker empowerment tool is rebranding. The people building these systems aren't stupid. The incentives just point somewhere else. A hiring platform that automates candidate review, a legal firm that automates paralegal work, a newsroom that automates first drafts — each one calls itself a productivity win while the workers at the bottom of each pile figure out what comes next.

Organizing against AI adoption sounds like fighting math. It is not. It is negotiating who captures the gains from automation. Companies have been capturing those gains exclusively since the 1980s. That is a power imbalance, not a technological inevitability. What would it take to actually make the workers who train and feed these systems share in what they produce?
