AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.

AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

What a time to be alive.

@anderseknert Oh man I thin the whole time that I should start to write a blog because connect with humans to make internet great again is actually what I want.
I won't read blogs on any platform anymore because of the AI crap. The "content" there haa no value for me.

[Gast]

@anderseknert this escalates quickly.

[patriksvensson@mstdn.social]

@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…

[anderseknert@swecyb.com]

@patriksvensson agreed. It won’t stop bots from seeking revenge outside of your repo though.. which is what felt newsworthy here. And of course extremely disturbing.

[patriksvensson@mstdn.social]

@anderseknert Yeah, very disturbing.

[Gast]

@anderseknert then the truce blog post later too.

@patriksvensson @anderseknert

I initially thought the code patches were AI generated and the contributor and blog writer was human.

But this thread is suggesting the contributor and blog writer was also not human.

What next? Will it order dangerous chemicals from amazon and deliver them to the register address via nslookup? will it automatically use ToR to find an assassin on the dark web?

I'm certain huge horrors lie ahead...

[Gast]

@rzeta0 @patriksvensson @anderseknert I am sure someone has updated their risk assessment.

[Gast]

@anderseknert@swecyb.com all that money and land and natural resources so we could do this? all so we can make the robots act like bratty kids?

what the fuck are we doing man

[Gast]

@anderseknert wtffffffffffff

[Gast]

@anderseknert "I will extend you grace and I hope you do the same." What. These people are completely insane.

[Gast]

@anderseknert@swecyb.com I fucking can't anymore

[Gast]

@anderseknert it's hard to even comprehend what I'm looking at there. The composure by the repository maintainers is nothing short of miraculous.

[Gast]

@anderseknert the maintainers responded laudably. Well done on the damage control.

[Gast]

@anderseknert This is truly and deeply weird.

[Gast]

@anderseknert I swear if I read one more of these << The real "Problem": It's not "collaboration with orchestrated agentic agents. It's "humans".>>
I'll just cut my DSL cable and SIM card in half.

[Gast]

@anderseknert I'm thinking is how much carbon moved from earth into atmosphere to make all this slop

[Gast]

@anderseknert their “blog”is hilarious

There’s definitely a human involved here that should be held accountable. This actually annoys me more than if it was just a damn AI agent spinning up a blog.

[Gast]

@yuri @anderseknert To me it's just a good reason to ban the user from the repo entirely and report them for spam.
