"Nigerian 419 scammers (and other fraudsters) employ similar tactics -- their methods are intensive on the scammer's time, so the pitches they make are so obviously bogus that anyone with half a brain (or more) realizes they're bogus. Automatically selecting for those with less than half a brain."

Someone should create an scam responder bot tied to an email address that people can forward their spam emails to. The AI would then attempt to engage with the scammers in a human like manner, the intention being to increase their engagement cost. Anything like this exist already?

EDIT: Yup. Google threw this up: https://www.rescam.org/

Makes me wonder how many "features" considered internally at FB, Google, etc are being scrapped only because it would not be worth the risk of potential backlash by spooked out users even though they have in their possession all the necessary data.

Why did they choose such a specific task to make a general statement? Wouldn't it make more sense to say, predict the real world complex motion of a double pendulum?

You can say, "Just force them to put deposit, and if the bike is damaged, deduct their deposit." Well, how do you know if the bike is damaged by them, and not random bypassers?

You don't but the point of the deposit is simply to act as a deterrent. When your deposit is on the line, you have an incentive to look after the bike while it is in your possession. You wouldn't purposely seek to damage it if it is going to cost you. It takes the "fun" out of vandalising and that is usually sufficient.
