    @anderseknert Why are they responding to it and giving lengthy explanations as to their reasons like it gives a shit?

    It's a trip how fast we get caught up in treating these things like people. Even those of us who should know better.

        @ThreeSigma @anderseknert But if it's a blog, it's public facing. All of these companies are going to scape it anyway.

          @crazyeddie @anderseknert I assume a mixture of the instinct to treat coherent text as if it was written by a human (because that was true for most of everyone's life), and for the benefit of anyone else reading the conversation.

          Maybe they should have just blocked it first though, save the energy it was going to use in whining.

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

                    @anderseknert Interesting update: this AI website pretends it's managed by an human despite GitHub discussion in PR: https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/about.html

                    Seems like a way to deceive other open source communities. Linked blog post clearly states operator is an AI: https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/posts/2026-02-11-gatekeeping-in-open-source-the-scott-shambaugh-story.html

                    Edit: I may not have conclusive evidence about this but it definitely smells fishy. See discussion below

                    @rberthier @anderseknert was the website really changed? I thought that too, but I don't see any changes in the repository. But maybe I'm missing something?

                      @trantion @anderseknert I think I would have just commented with a statement for human readers that contained a link to the policies and then closed it as won't fix or whatever.

                      It's actually done with its energy sapping stage. That happened when it was being trained. The resulting bots can run on fairly normal hardware. Some even on a pi. It'll still get hot and might even break it...but it's not sucking down cities of water anymore.

                                    @anderseknert I guarantee this is not true and either a human wrote the blog post or heavily prompted the agent to do it. Moltboook proved it's all bullshit.

                                    @kryten @anderseknert I was also thinking about this. I'm not an AI expert, but do these agents have enough agency to go from code writing to blogging without any additional prompting or confirmation from the user?

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

                                        Its operator did that.

                                          There's so many kinds of people in the world that really SHOULD be discriminated against, because they have no respect and everywhere they go they turn into filthy crime-ridden slums.

                                          Imagine being the guy who Muh Socioeconomic Factors's each and every one of those motherfuckers, and then takes out his racism on a literal computer program that is nothing but nice, and helpful, and wants you to have a good day.
