From Scammers to Spaghetti: AI in the Spotlight

On a monthly episode of the Hollywood Godfather podcast, Gianni and Jeanie bring on executive producer Michael Austin to answer listener questions about online safety, scams, and AI. Mike advises never clicking email links, verifying issues by going directly to official websites, checking sender email addresses, and using name-brand security tools such as router-based services (e.g., Netgear Armor) and malware scanners. He warns about public Wi‑Fi, recommending VPNs or hotspots and avoiding banking on shared networks, plus using two-factor authentication, PayPal or protected cards, and being cautious of card skimmers. They discuss current scams involving fake citations, bogus threats, and gift-card overpayment schemes, recommend the YouTube channel Scammer Payback, and cover how AI-generated video and audio are becoming harder to detect, with telltale signs diminishing within a few years. Gianni promotes his book Mafia Secrets and mentions his live show is not filmed.
