Crates on crates.io bulk-generated by LLM

I found this developer while looking for a CPU load crate. All of their crates appear to be generated by LLM. Some crates have existed for months at least, and yet the repository has a single commit from 49 minutes ago. Their website is down and Bluesky account has been suspended.

Strikes me as sketchy. Am I just jealous of this ultra-productivity, or is there something weird going on?
