Show HN: Trolling SMS spammers with Ollama


LLM Project Files I occasionally get unsolicited texts from real estate brokers looking to buy specific properties in my hometown where I own no property and don't even live. I assume they scrape cell phone numbers from WhitePages and just spray-and-pray hoping to get a response.

My parents own some undeveloped land in the middle of town which lies mostly in a flood zone and the usable acreage is much less than it appears on paper. Over Christmas break I worked on a system for controlling my phone's SMS application over MQTT from a remote workstation running Ollama. The job of the Python script is simply to listen on MQTT for new SMS messages and send generated LLM responses back to the Android application.
