Yeah, but it absolutely does not mean we should give up and do nothing. Hopefully that will give at least some people a pause when they apply for Outlier.ai jobs. There are a few people there who seem to have a "real-ish" history of contribution and they actually came back after our reaction and apologised as they were tricked into doing it by the instructions from Outlier. So at least we can make rounds on awareness of the whole situation. That's already something. Even if they will shrug seeing all the reaction (which is amazing - I did not know we have so many people caring about maintainers). And hopefully also GitHub (I have a few friends from GitHub reacting to it) will take notice and will make it harder for "new" people and maybe even detect such spam on their own. Eventually we are - and this is just a beginning - in an arm's race where we will have to employ AI to battle the AI created by "roque" players - it's inevitable. It will happen, absolutely no doubts about it. So we have to strengthen our efforts to make people aware of those dangers and prepare to react for them. We already (and few other Apache projects) work with DoSu - and they are great AI "open-source friendly" company - for quite a few months their AI is classifying our issues and putting the right labels on them (and they do a great job on that) - so it's only a matter of their focus (and I spoke to the Devin - the creator of DoSu) on them being able to analyse those issues and maybe even automatically marking them as "AI spam". In fact - their algorithms already also learn from us marking the issues with the "AI spam" label. and if they enable this label and we have enough cases, their AI will likely automatically help with that "AI spam" to be automatically set. So ... I think being active, sharing things like that, learning and thinking how to battle those cases is something we all should learn how to do. It will be needed. This is just a canary in the mine. J.
