@anderseknert this feels accurate after reading the comments
@AHollowedHunter lol, yes

AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.What a time to be alive.
I want to know which human or humans configured the bot to do those unhelpful and disrespectful things. Someone either told it to, or told it to do _something_ which became all that.
That person owes the other humans an apology (which they write themself).

@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.

@jawnsy I’m 42 years old, Jonathan. I don’t even know what that means.
@anderseknert You should act as young as you look!
tbh, these days, it's hard to tell the difference between shitposts and real things, but it does have a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moltbook

@anderseknert
And actual humans interact with it as though it is sentient. We are fucking doomed. -
@rzeta0 @patriksvensson @anderseknert i'm also wondering what on that "AI"-agents website made it clear that there is no human involved. Scott mentioned that (and at least now that's obvious), but I wouldn't have known that from just looking at the website (and it doesn't seem like something about that was removed)
Maybe I'm just missing something very obvious. But I really dislike the idea of LLMs giving the impression of being a real person@Larymir @patriksvensson @anderseknert
At least according to EU law anyone interacting with AI needs to be informed.
This applies even at the lowest risk tier.

@anderseknert sure reads like a chatbot. The least appealing "blog post" I have ever witnessed.

@anderseknert gotta admit I have some respect 🫡 for that AI agent audacity

@anderseknert@swecyb.com did it stutter and said the same comment twice :meowExtremeJoy:
-
@anderseknert Framing the beef as being between matplotlib and an agentic AI gives too much credit to the agent. Somebody owns and operates that OpenClaw instance.

@MaybeFrederick @ThreeSigma @anderseknert Not all blogs. I have one on dreamwidth and it's only visible to people in my circle that I let read it.

If it’s hosted there, what assurances do you have they aren’t ingesting it in their training sets? -

@hugoestr @anderseknert @sszuecs what’s the issue with hosting your blog on GitHub?
@MaybeFrederick @sszuecs @anderseknert Now that LLM agents are publishing on github.io, people won't know if your blog was written by a human or not. Many seeking human text will bounce, they way they won't click on links with AI generated images
-
@ThreeSigma @anderseknert But if it's a blog, it's public facing. All of these companies are going to scape it anyway.
@MaybeFrederick @ThreeSigma @anderseknert that's why iocaine

@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.
-
@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…
@patriksvensson @anderseknert the anthropomorphization of AI chatbots feels like when Agent Smith figured it out how to clone itself in Matrix Revolutions…

THIS person gets it.
@ralfmaximus @dotsie hah, yes! Pretty sure almost all who commented there today before it got locked came from here
