I've been getting a lot of job spam in my email the past week or two, not sure if it's from here or Github mostly.
So wait, are they trying to sell something to unemployed people?
I got one of those too, from "Alya", which seems to be an LLM-based tool the creator describes as his daughter. Beyond the usual rudeness of spam, that's a little creepy.
That's horrific for people to even think of doing that and I'm sorry that's happened to you. You have my condolences. Too many people in tech are so utterly shameless, unfortunately.
This applies to literally all of society, and has absolutely nothing to do with tech. Every society, everywhere. I mean, the guy sending that spam probably is pretty hard on their luck as well (and will probably eventually post a sad story about their lot and how they're just trying to hustle, etc). That doesn't excuse it, but it's turtles all the way down.
You can filter a few of these by asking that they include some specific word in the subject. These spammers won't, and you can just delete those.

In addition to all the creepiness, the email had a link to stripe to pay them $500? I wonder if the email is hiding a prompt injection somewhere to trick a bot into paying?
