31 000 stars, top trending this month on Github. https://github.com/trending?since=monthly

Releasing a project like this seems groundbreaking yet there is almost no discussion online about this.

No one apart from the author has verified if it works or not despite it only requiring $8 hardware. There's no X discussions or Youtube videos or Reddit posts. The author sounds like another rogue OpenClaw instance. Issues on Github are being closed.

How did it get to the top? What are they even trying to achieve? Boost sales for ESP32-S3 boards? Could there be attack vectors in the code if someone tries to run it locally?

Anyone have an ESP32 board lying around willing to try this out?
