AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.

Bad News Nobody

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

Yuri :spinny_cat_pan: (underfaxed)

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

Renke Meuwese

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

Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)

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

James Baillie

@anderseknert This is truly and deeply weird.

Áron

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

dotsie

@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.

LisPi

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

Faye

@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.

Red Lucy ( ✨anger issues edition✨ )

@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

Faye

@anderseknert @patriksvensson “oh great, we’ve invented the automated jerk”

Nafeon

@anderseknert I read it three times now. I'm so confused. There has to be a human behind it as well??

Pinguin Techno Quantum Fairy

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

Gyroplast

@FayeDrake @anderseknert @patriksvensson

Modeling the combined best of us, no less!

Never mind the puny flame wars of yore, Vim vs. Emacs, Windows vs. Linux, TRVE METAL… begone!
Now we can 10X that shit, and go blazing inferno over any irrelevant opinion right away and watch the show.

This is entertainment, boys!

Faye

@Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson again, I’m going broken record here.

But automating flame wars and flooding the zone like this is _precisely_ the easiest use case for the technology.

It was only a matter of time.

Duchamp Pérez

@anderseknert @sszuecs More incentive to move blogs off from github

Fissile

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

Its operator did that.

LisPi

@yuri @anderseknert The hstack + reshape choice is never explained anywhere either, actually, and I'm not sure that doing stacking + reshape is cheaper than just stacking.

It pops in & out of the Python context more than before which I'm sure has a cost.

queen of carrot flowers

@anderseknert the pr did indeed get rejected simply because the contributor is an AI, so this doesn't seem to crazy.
