Hello,

This goes out to all of these people who think they just vibe-coded the next big thing: I don't care. Use the proper channels to promote them if you must, but ..

Don't Send Spam Mails

I've lost count on how many stupid E-mails I've gotten in the past 12 months from people who think I care about their shit because I, check notes, starred the "totally unknown" project like llama.cpp on Github.

What You're Doing May Be Illegal

I'm not joking. Under EU GDPR law, you're not allowed to send me ads before I agreed to that. What you're sending is .. an Ad. And most of these people want to make money with their project. There are probably other local laws in other jurisdictions on this stuff.

This will be a different thing if you only send one or three emails by hand. But your bot pasting my name from the public profile doesn't count.

I know people like these think they're clever for getting their OpenClown bot to send out masses of emails. You're not. You're a spammer, and between you and the nigerian prince, I prefer the latter.

Anyone else affected by these people?
