Please don't spam people looking for employment. It's just cruel
Please don’t spam people looking for employment. It’s just cruel
请不要向求职者发送垃圾邮件,这真的很残忍
Earlier I posted in a “Who wants to be hired?” thread, looking for a place where I could apply my experience in hospitality, food tech and automation. 早些时候,我在“谁想被雇佣?”(Who wants to be hired?)的帖子中发布了求职信息,希望能找到一个能让我发挥在酒店业、食品科技和自动化领域经验的地方。
A couple hours later I received an email: “Hi Ilia, I saw your comment on the June Who’s Hiring thread. I build production-ready TypeScript and Python systems that integrate LLMs into real workflows, with particular focus on RAG, agent orchestration, and clear blah-blah-blah” 几个小时后,我收到了一封邮件:“嗨 Ilia,我看到了你在六月份‘谁在招聘’帖子下的评论。我构建生产就绪的 TypeScript 和 Python 系统,将大语言模型集成到实际工作流中,特别专注于 RAG、智能体编排,以及一堆废话……”
Come on. I am a forced immigrant with a wife, a cat, rent and crushing debt, who’s been unemployed for 6 months. I am naturally an extremely optimistic person, but boy is energy on the low by now. And every e-mail in my inbox, especially one starting with something related to my job search, is a glimmer of hope. Just to be crushed by what comes next. Yes, it’s a minor cut, but those compound. 拜托。我是一个被迫移民的人,有妻子、有猫、要付房租,还背负着沉重的债务,已经失业 6 个月了。我天生是一个极其乐观的人,但说实话,现在我的精力已经降到了谷底。收件箱里的每一封邮件,尤其是那些以与我求职相关的内容开头的邮件,都曾是一丝希望。但随之而来的内容却将这份希望击碎。是的,这只是一个小伤口,但它们会不断累积。
Please just don’t do this. Maybe add a skill to your Claude Code called “empathy”? You can have your Claw access a “be considerate of other people’s experiences” MCP server! Or just ask your “Daily Grind Reminder” Telegram bot to recommend a good book of fiction from time to time. Just to develop some humanity. Sorry for venting. 请不要再这样做了。也许可以在你的 Claude Code 里增加一项名为“同理心”的技能?你可以让你的 Claw 访问一个“体谅他人经历”的 MCP 服务器!或者让你的“日常琐事提醒”Telegram 机器人偶尔推荐一本好的小说。培养一点人性吧。抱歉,我发泄了一下。
andrewzeno: My email is filled with junk from cybersecurity “experts” telling me that my open source project is “very compromised” and that they will gladly reveal to me what the issue is, if I commit to paying them a bug bounty. I get at least a few every week. I hate them, but I feel like we are well past the point where in any place where there is money to be made, the majority of cold outreach will be from semi-personalized AI agents. You just have to accept that most of the time your get contacted by someone, it is likely not a human. andrewzeno: 我的邮箱里塞满了来自网络安全“专家”的垃圾邮件,他们告诉我我的开源项目“严重受损”,如果我承诺支付漏洞赏金,他们很乐意向我揭示问题所在。我每周至少会收到几封。我很讨厌这些邮件,但我感觉我们已经过了那个阶段——在任何有利可图的地方,大多数冷启动的联系都将来自半个性化的 AI 智能体。你必须接受这样一个事实:大多数时候联系你的人,很可能不是人类。
chrismorgan: Whether it helps or not—the typical contact like this hasn’t been a human for decades now. What I’m seeing these days is materially almost identical to what went out ten years ago. Basic form letter with a cover sentence or paragraph of either no relevance, or a tenuous but normally ill-researched claim at relevance. chrismorgan: 不管有没有用——这种典型的联系方式几十年来一直都不是人类在操作。我最近看到的内容,本质上和十年前发出的东西几乎一模一样。基本的格式化信件,加上一句或一段无关痛痒的开场白,要么毫无关联,要么就是一种牵强附会且通常缺乏调查的关联声明。
HeyLaughingBoy: Yeah, but in the last few months, they’ve definitely been better targeted. I’ve found myself reading at least the first few lines to figure out where they got their info about me from. HeyLaughingBoy: 是的,但在过去几个月里,它们的针对性确实更强了。我发现自己至少会读前几行,想弄清楚他们是从哪里获取关于我的信息的。
insane_dreamer: yeah; just that we’ll get 5x of these now that it’s even easier to generate more “real-human-sounding” ones. IMO, the best way to deal with these, if using gMail, is not marking them as spam. Instead, I drag them into the Promotions tab, answer “yes” to classify all emails from the subject as such, and that’s it. Promotions == Trash. I don’t open/read such emails (I scan the first few words shown in the Inbox line, then dispense), so good luck trying to cold contact me for legitimate purposes. insane_dreamer: 是的;只是现在生成“听起来更像真人”的邮件变得更容易了,我们收到的数量会是以前的 5 倍。在我看来,如果使用 Gmail,处理这些邮件的最好方法不是标记为垃圾邮件。相反,我把它们拖到“推广”标签页,回答“是”以将该主题的所有邮件归类为推广邮件,就这样。推广标签页等于垃圾桶。我不会打开或阅读这些邮件(我只扫描收件箱行显示的头几个字,然后处理掉),所以想通过冷启动联系我进行正当业务的人,祝你们好运吧。
