A little after midnight on Christmas, I received an unsolicited "roast" for one of my open source libraries.
The roast was AI-generated.
Naturally, I decided to look into who's behind this spam campaign and expose them.

And this is exactly why I make ample use of the wayback machine's saving functionality, even got the extension for quick access. Gotta hold these fucks accountable.
@soatok Love me a proper OSINT story. Thank you for posting this.
Also, CAN-SPAM really needs better enforcement.
@soatok heya, I didn’t see it mentioned in your post but it’s possible this person is operating their company using the Estonian e-residency / digital nomad offering
Paris is/has also been a strong startup scene
So there’s quite strong hustlegrift vibes coming off this mofo
@sebsauvage @soatok so, one of the elements of the GDPR is that a "data subject" (anyone whose data is kept by an organisation) can request access to the personal information they have on them (article 15.1 of the GDPR).
As a data protection officer for an organisation, who has received a data subject request, it is very annoying to comply - but absolutely legally necessary.
Since the controller (muhu.ai) evidently has some personal data from you (your e-mail addresses at a minimum) you are "data subjects" under the GDPR and are eligible to make a request for all of your data.
After you receive your data, you can also submit a data erasure request.

I don't understand repo roasting, but I DO understand smarmy confolk and their misadventures. Sorry that you had to do this, but excellent work and hopefully something that at least someone else can use to learn about this sort of thing.
See you in 2025 nerd!

Wow that has got go be the shittiest and most cringe roast i have ever read. It totally lacks any sense of personality and feels like it is a template filled in with words from your project.
I really hope this Franck will never get succesfull with this. Let him waste his time and effort and perish into nothingness
@soatok: one of my acquaintances asked an LLM to generate a 'counterargument' to some legal defences that I wrote up for a (potentially copyright-infringing) project I'm working on.
I didn't find anything which refutes my points other than the obvious facts which made me write my defence in the first place.
IANAL Introduction I visited my friend at REDACTED to see the reliability of VisualPlugin's argument according to the law. His argument attempts to justify the use of leaked Roblox binaries for revivals under the fair use doctrine. His analysis misinterprets several key legal concepts and overloo...
