Saw this on relaunched Digg and figured HN would appreciate it.

I don't appreciate how AI generated this website looks.

which bit are you getting an AI smell from?

For humour I shortened "https://www.facebook.com/"

And got https://twitter.web-safe.link/root_4h3ku0_account_verificati...

I added google.com and it spit out https://twitterDOTc1icDOTlink/install_Jy7NpK_private_videoDOTzip

Interesting that it spit out a .zip url. Was not expecting that so I changed all the “.” to “DOT” so I don’t get punished for posting a spammy link despite this literally being a website to make links as spammy and creepy as possible.

well played sir
fancychancy•58m ago
Haha, it's fun. Just thinking, is there some place where creepy links would be better ?
AnotherGoodName•47m ago
I've been at a company that internally sends out fake links that log the user and links to an educational page on internet safety.

I honestly don't mind too much since it's a once a year thing (hacktober) and honestly companies should be trying to catch out employees who click any and all links.

Use case? Besides humor and phishing tests
cr125rider•48m ago
Fun!
bityard•34m ago
IIRC, shadyurl was the original version of this. Doesn't seem to be around anymore, though.
arjvik•26m ago
My favorite link of all time:

https://jpmorgan.c1ic.link/logger_zcGFC2_bank_xss.docm

Definitely not meta

Please don't make any more URL shorteners, they are just a bad idea.

I always end up making my own, they're so simple to write.

Saves using one of the "free" ones which looks like its free but you're actually on a free trial, then you can't access your links after that trial expires.

postalcoder•8m ago
There may actually be some utility here. LLMs refuse to traverse the links.
