Hacker News 讨论自动报名活动工具 EventMaxxer 的争议

EventMaxxer – Automatically apply to events to get you in the right room

AI 导读

Hacker News 首页出现名为 EventMaxxer 的工具(github.com/giga-james),可自动报名活动以抢占名额,引发评论区争论。有人认为若人人使用会制造垃圾申请、重演 LinkedIn 投递困境并损害公地;会议主办方则提醒这会浪费组织者资源、导致更大规模的场地与餐饮误订,并可能催生反制措施和更多申请费用门槛。

This feels like it's going to cause a lot of damage to the commons.

If one person does this, no big deal.

If everyone starts doing this, you're basically just creating spam. It'll become like LinkedIn job applications.


This is literally AI, in every case. AI is literally the exploitation of the commons, both in the theft of intellectual property for training, and in how it is used.


I missed out on an event recently because it was full. I got a notification that a spot had become available shortly before it started, but I had an hour travel to get there so wasn't viable.

I think tools to enable better discovery are a good thing, but I'm not sure that I like the idea of splatting RSVPs just in case.


Nice! I was thinking of building something like this for myself.

I'm a little worried that the complexity could be too much and dissatisfying if I have to spend a ton of time tweaking it.


Sigh. As someone in the business of creating and hosting conferences please consider not doing this. It's such a giant drain on resources for event organizers to get applications and RSVPs for people that don't actually want to attend, and it could really harm well meaning people to plan for larger events by booking bigger rooms or arranging for food and logistics and so on.

If you decide to take this approach understand and likely to spawn countermeasures or consequences. The most likely outcome of this isn't better for anyone, it's just a world that has more application fees and roadblocks put in front of people who aren't assholes.
