I mean, spam sucks obviously, but occasionally one leaks through the filters that makes me smile.

There’s a URL in the signature which I whimsically followed, the headline there is: “The place where you can build and buy a whole qubit.”

#xml

Screenshot  of spam email:
Hi Tim,

I'd like to find out with whom I would update my payment details with regarding selling XML on my website.

Any help you could provide, I'd greatly appreciate.

Thanks,
Nathaniel

@timbray
A bit late to sell that XML innit. Should have done that years ago, before everyone turned to JSON. 😅

@timbray This appears to be hand-crafted artisan spam (although somewhat amateurish), not the mass-produced stuff. Or maybe AI agents can now peruse your background and make individually tailored spam? 😬
