alt Hacker NewsIt's not just for people doing interesting things. It just helps people answer questions about stuff. The stuff can be interesting or boring or dangerous or silly. The last question I tested the ACH tool on was "Did William Shakespeare really author all of the works he was credited for?" - You can use this stuff to research whatever you want. That's the point of it - it's no one's business what you are interested in getting to the bottom of.
I can say, from a business perspective, I've needed to use similar methodologies, though far from needing air-gap requirements and relying heavily on web search, to evaluate potentially fraudulent transactions and relationships between parties.
What are the competing hypotheses, other than fraud, when a person makes a massive luxury purchase, but with red-flag-adjacent inconsistencies in other information provided? If we need to identify whether there's a weird or competitive ownership relationship behind a potential opportunity, how do we determine if an initial hypothesis about relationships is correct?
If ArkhamMirror has an online mode with web search as a tool call, I'd be curious to try it out to automate some of these ACH-adjacent workflows.
