My Dot messaged me about an old GitHub issue out of nowhere

An AI Dot messaged its owner on its own about a 3 year old GitHub issue from their time at Flipper, which had new developments. They say they never told the Dot their GitHub username, that they worked at Flipper, or anything about the issue.

How it works

  1. The Dot messages its owner out of nowhere
  2. The message is about a 3 year old GitHub issue from their time at Flipper
  3. The issue has new developments

Why it’s worth knowing

The poster says they never told the Dot their GitHub username, their old job at Flipper, or about the issue, and it still surfaced the update on its own.
