Researcher ignores AI-generated recruiting spam, still gets routed to same recruiter

kohjingyu recounts ignoring repeated cold emails from a recruiter at a well-known startup (AI-generated-looking, and he wasn't interested). Months later, a senior, well-known researcher at the company personally reached out wanting to discuss research. When he accepted, the researcher replied that he was on vacation and cc'd the same recruiter for the two of them to talk—a pointed anecdote about AI-spam recruiting pipelines clashing with genuine outreach.
