- A dev complains about AI "personalized" outreach emails: senders scrape your socials and feed them to an LLM, bypassing the human Bayesian spam filter and forcing recipients to actually read each one before realizing it's a pitch.
- He shares an anecdote: a job applicant gained credibility partly through repeated collaboration with the poster's network, evidenced by a doc PR fixing a single typo to HuggingFace accelerate a year after the poster left. Social footprints are becoming the entry ticket to hiring.
