Now I understand where ChatGPT hallucinations come from.
This is what I was thinking at first. This just looks like classic chain letter.
But on rereading, it appears that the person at the top is controlling who’s sending books to who, and might even be dictating where you buy the book from, which is definitely a scam.
My guess on how this works. Upon DMing the person in control, you’re instructed to buy a book from a specific website (that they control) and have the book shipped directly from there to the “stranger.”. However, “stranger” doesn’t actually exist, no books are ever sent, and the person running this whole scam is just pocketing the money rubes spend on “books”.
WTF are you talking about? All I’m saying is that if you write code (that in the context of this discussion passes arguments to a method you didn’t write, that may not be the type the author of the method expected someone to pass, but really, that’s completely beside the point), you should, oh, I don’t know, maybe test that it actually works, and maybe even (gasp) write some automated tests so that if anything changes that breaks the expected behavior, the team immediately knows about it and can make appropriate changes to fix it. You don’t need a strongly typed language to do any of that. You just need to do your job.
Theoretically, they’ll test and notice that doesn’t work and fix their code before they deploy it to production.

Not unless you’re “buying” it from some service that doesn’t let you download the file. Definitely don’t do that.
Just buying the mp3s and having them forever.

IANAL, but I feel like if the heirs to an estate cared enough about the deceased’s Steam account enough to get the court involved, Steam wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. But that’s probably what it would take to get them to do the right thing.
