I posted a job ad here over year ago, and I continue to get REALLY BAD automated spam applying for jobs.

It's not even going as far as using an LLM. It's just a bad e-mail that is obviously sent en masse, where the sender obviously didn't read the job ad.

As far as I can tell, the people are using their real name for this. And sending the same spam multiple times with "nags".

I get that with any public-facing thing you will get a wide spectrum, and I'm picking on the people at the bottom of the spectrum ... but it still makes me a little sad. It would almost be more understandable if they used an LLM !! :-/ :-/

Disposable single-purpose email addresses are the future, most likely.
