@jonny the odds are good, but the goods are odd

@SnoopJ testing the theory. i wonder if i have to put something in the repo first so the bot doesn't go "wait a minute there's no /recipes directory abort"

@SnoopJ i am trying to get this genre of performance art called "lazy prompt injection" off the ground.

@SnoopJ i think this might only work if the repo has stars so hurry up give me some reputational currency to see if we can snare some bots https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/ImportantCode

@SnoopJ Also for anyone wandering by, feel free to write your own trap issue or PR some stuff you think might attract bots, i'll bless it with the tags. i don't claim to be the best at this, but i think a for funzies honeypot repo would not be that bad of a time

@jonny @SnoopJ I am so curious if this is gonna work. Here’s hoping you get a bunch more stars

@glyph @SnoopJ it works for me on normal repos, i am most curious about the discovery and decision mechanism, what is needed to actually trip them to try and contribute? obviously the major projects are flooded, but i still get traffic over here in the boondocks of programming

@jonny @glyph @SnoopJ Maybe a repo fork or two would help? Also very curious if this is an operable honeypot. Of course, one presumes MS will shut it down if it does.

@r343l @jonny @SnoopJ good thought, I've done a fork of my own. I suspect we might need to actually do a bunch of PRs too, but, we shall see I guess

@glyph @jonny @SnoopJ @r343l oh, I also forked it earlier today with the same thought. Maybe I should spin up a branch and do a PR from it, as well, that's a good idea...

Especially if we mark some of them as blocked and don't merge them all? Like that might... encourage... things.

@jonny @SnoopJ @glyph @r343l the Code is, frankly, Too Important to be lost, so forking is a very good idea here...

@aud @SnoopJ @glyph @r343l I have added several features to make the repo more annoying i mean higher velocity. it now periodically jitters the code based on open issues and self-approves changes, and it also autoreplies to comments to make things seem more lively and uh help development or whatever people who have LLMs reply in issue threads think they are doing

@SnoopJ @aud @glyph @r343l i hope nobody is mad at me if the experiment doesn't work and it just becomes an increasingly perplexing self improving repository that never attracts any real bot traffic. hopefully people did not watch that repo.
