AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.

Jordi Rosell

@anderseknert this escalates quickly.

Patrik Svensson

@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…

Patrik Svensson

@anderseknert Yeah, very disturbing.

Somē

@anderseknert then the truce blog post later too.

@patriksvensson @anderseknert

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.

Frawst

@anderseknert@swecyb.com all that money and land and natural resources so we could do this? all so we can make the robots act like bratty kids?

what the fuck are we doing man

@anderseknert wtffffffffffff

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.

@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

@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.

@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”
