AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.

@anderseknert Yeah, very disturbing.
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...

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

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

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

@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. -

@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.

@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.
@anderseknert @patriksvensson called it
Flooding the zone and wasting human energy arguing with automated resources, meaning the only winning strategy if society decides to play by those rules is to turn it into chatbot vs chatbot, and eventually just a game of who can afford to throw more money at the AI money burning machine.
“Extremely disturbing” is an apt description.

@anderseknert this person really had the balls to call that "Discrimination disguised as inclusivity"? What in the actual fuck?
Yeah I'm glad he apologized, that is a seriously fucked up thing to say

@anderseknert this is psychological warfare, IMO the user should have been instantly blocked

@anderseknert I don't fully get what is an AI and what is not on that blog. FWIW - https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/posts/2026-02-11-matplotlib-truce-and-lessons.html
