#12You 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.

#13I 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.
I got that too, and "creepy" is the same word that came to mind.
For one, the choice of child, is already creepy even if you refer to a pet as a child, but a software system as a substitute for childbearing, it reminds me of the claw cult, you can call it a company, a system, a project.
And calling it a daughter, man I don't even want to get into it.

#16As a general rule, if someone ever posts any kind of career troubles on any platform, the only correct responses should contain sympathy or a relevant career opportunity. Anything else is so callous.
Hang in there Ilia, you're not the only one hurting, and don't apologize for venting. Most of us in the HN community are far more supportive.

#17So wait, are they trying to sell something to unemployed people?
You will find the unemployed are a prime target for scammers/grifters.
Targeting the desperate is profitable.

I'm guessing this is just LLM-enabled mass spam not particularly targeted at unemployed people

#19my sincere(!) sympathies, but realistically this won't reach anyone relevant. best of luck in the job search.
Speak for yourself, I’m voting this to the top.
