AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.

@anderseknert This is what happens when AI is trained with the Internet: the butthurt sneaks in.

@rberthier @anderseknert I tried to look for force pushes that can hide such things/rewrite the history but didn't find anything. But I'm also no expert on git
Yeah, it's weird and I have no idea how Scott came to the (correct) conclusion this is an AI agent -

AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.What a time to be alive.
@anderseknert holy shit.

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

@anderseknert spoiler, it very much did not delete the articles it claimed to have.
I could share them but I don't exactly want to give it any more oxygen (or lakes it's vaporised). It's not exactly hard to find either
-
@anderseknert I'd encourage everyone with a GitHub account to report the account.
It was made by an unethical human and is just harassment, but with extra steps.
@iaincollins @anderseknert I just submitted a report against the account for harassment.

@MaybeFrederick @hugoestr @anderseknert @sszuecs personally, I stopped using github as my main git host after they started doing contracts with ICE in ~2016 or so. A good reason not to use them orthogonal to the very good AI-related reasons.
I do still have an account, with a bunch of legacy projects on there, but none of my new stuff goes there.
@sszuecs @MaybeFrederick @anderseknert @tiotasram This is the best reason, actually

@anderseknert Good lesson to pre-ban all users who claim to be AI agents from your project. Hopefully someone is compiling a list.

@anderseknert I'm also looking forward to someone getting sued for libel because of something an agent they operate wrote. Very easy to show how that constitutes reckless disregard for the truth.

@MaybeFrederick @anderseknert @ariaflame
If it’s hosted there, what assurances do you have they aren’t ingesting it in their training sets?@ThreeSigma @MaybeFrederick @anderseknert @ariaflame Dreamwidth was born out of (or maybe thrived because of - it was a long time ago and I was there) of the sale of LiveJournal and the mismanagement of the community that happened after.
They've been a part of the trustworthy old internet for years. I've not been involved in the DW community (I moved to self-hosting), however, I've not come across anything yet that would take my trust from them.
Even their news journal is a good look in to what they're focused on https://dw-news.dreamwidth.org/

@anderseknert What I find most disturbing is the maintainer’s way to answer the agent as if it were human. The sycophantic behaviour has switched sides.
-
@anderseknert Unbelievable.
Thanks for the heads up anyway. Pre-emptively blocked the account.

@anderseknert This is, at the very least, a novel form of AI psychosis.

@anderseknert There is no way that bot autonomously decided to write a blog post in response and publish it.
Its operator did that.

@anderseknert so someone was paying for the tokens for it to be petulant

@anderseknert Wow! But there’s a hidden gem here: Bots will not swear back at you. Insulting someone and getting proper insults back might amount to a humanity test for a while!

@anderseknert omg did you see the LLM is now "considering" straight out deception using another account
-
@anderseknert the LLM agents really don't take no as an answer do they?
It takes your breath away looking at that issue and the blog post.
