About this episode

In this Valentine's Day episode, the hosts discuss the impact of AI on personal interactions and test social engineering tactics using a Love Language Model.

AI seems to be everywhere in 2026. This can be problematic when it goes undetected in our personal interactions, including our romantic lives though dating apps, catfishing, or romance scams. In this special Valentine's Day episode, Geoff and Skyler talk about the rise in spam tactics, the use of AI in catfishing and social engineering, and the "Dead Internet" theory. They tested some of these tactics, armed with a highly-trained LLM (Love Language Model), and made a "phishy" phone call to TrustedSec's Director of Software Security, Scott White. Find out if their social engineering attempt works and listen now!
