I've been getting a lot of vulnerability "spam mail" recently that's clearly AI-generated.
It's a surprise every public bounty program isn't completely buried in automatic reports by now, but it likely won't take long.

TIL that some people spell cooperate with an "ö". As a Swedish native it really breaks my reading of an English word, but apparently it's supposed to indicate that you should pronounce each "o" separately. Language is fun.
As a native English speaker, it also breaks my reading of "cooperate". Never seen it before. I think parent is just annoyingly eccentric for the sake of it.
I admit that latter part is just for whimsy, because I think it looks fun. The dashes I like for their aesthetics and if that makes me eccentric then so be it. They shouldn't distract anyone's reading, or at least they didn't use to before LLMs.

Some people actually do that on Github too. Absolute psychopaths.
I think the JS/Node scene was the pioneer in spamming emojis absolutely everywhere, well before AI. Maybe that's where the models picked it up from.
The more vapid parts of social media also seem to have plenty of emoji floods, and I suspect that also made it into the training data for ChatGPT and others.

#524IMHO the first reply looks very automated and may even encourage them to do stuff like this, as this should've been a "fuck off" after a quick glance at the "Verified POC Code".

Unfortunately that seems to be the norm now – people literally reduce themselves to a copy-paste mechanism.
I watched someone do this during an interview. They were literally copy and pasting back and forth the LLM. In front of the interviewers! (myself and another co-worker) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44985254
You should've asked "are you the one who wants this job, or are you implying we should just hire ChatGPT instead?"

What I don't get, is why people think this action has value. The maintainer of the project could ask an LLM to do that. A senior dev. I can't imagine Googling for something, seeing someone on (for example) stackoverflow commenting on code, and then filing a bug to the maintainer. And just copy and pasting what someone else said, into the bug report. All without even comprehending the code, the project, or even runnin…
Now just imagine some malicious party overwhelming software teams with shitloads of AI bug reports like this. I bet this will be weaponized eventually, if not already is.

This is a misconception which keeps getting repeated. It's easy to use an em-dash on any modern Linux desktop as well (and in a lot of other places).
Though it does still require nominating a key to map to Compose. And is not generally meaningfully documented. So I’d only call it easy for the sorts of people that care enough to find it. But then, long before I had a Compose key, in my benighted days of using Windows, I figured out such codes as Alt+0151. 0150, 0151, 0153, 0169, 0176… a surprising number of them I still remember after not having typed them in a doz…
I've never bothered to read about the compose key, but en/em-dash is accessible (in Debian) with AltGr-(Shift)-Hyphen/Minus too. Copyright (©) is AltGr-Shift-C.

People usually don't type embdash, just use regular dash (minus sign) they have already on the keyboard. ChatGPT uses emdash instead.
I recently learned to use Option + Shift + `-` (dash) on macOS to type it and use it since then because somebody smarter than me told me that this is the correct one to use (please correct them if you know better :D).
Same on GNU/Linux(Debian), except Option is called AltGr.

Using umlauts to signal that a vowel is pronounced separately is common in a number of languages (like Dutch).
But it's not used as an Umlaut here, that's exactly what's confusing. Here this is used as a trema/diaeresis.
