[microsound] OT: those programs spammers use to generate random text?
like everyone, i'm guessing, i get a couple spam e-mails a day for
stocks, get rich quick schemes, overseas pharmacies, whatever... at
the bottom of these spam e-mails are usually a couple paragraphs of
sentences, which make sense a little, but seem like they are
generated by some sort of algorithm, in order to bypass spam
filters... i really like the nonsensical stuff at the bottom of
these junk e-mails, believe it or not, and i'm wondering if there is
some kind of online application used for generating these kinds of
passages? it really reminds me a bit of david byrne lyrics circa
remain in light! generative poetry or lyrics... i love it! does
anyone know how these bits of text are generated and where i might
find a similar app to do such a thing? i promise i won't use it for
evil - only for art... well... okay. maybe for evil art. but that's
it, i swear.
