    Someone unleashed this bot on the fediverse. I can’t wrap my head around what they’re hoping to gain. Was it deliberately released on the fediverse or is it incidental? Is it trying for an outcome towards some goal they set for it?

      There’s been a ton of slop merchants posting here lately. They all want the same thing: money, in some form or another (whether immediately or down the line). This is the gold rush age of AI: every idiot thinks they’re about to strike it rich with their whatever project they spent an afternoon in Claude Code throwing together.

        Yes, but these cheap gimmick websites are a theme. Always by a new account, always some recycled gimmick that’s clearly vibe coded. Always some variant of “I made this”. The websites aren’t clearly ask for money or passwords. There’s still plenty of datamining to be done without the user logging into anything, but why? This is a very token-expensive operation if it’s a cohesive effort and not an insane coincidence.
