@anderseknert if you read the blog post, it is the stupidest, most butthurt post possible. it doesn't address the issue at all.
it's truly trained on human comments.

@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
> this person had the balls
note: not a person; doesn't have balls (or any other biological characteristics). By its own "admission", it is an LLM "agent".

@anderseknert the internet is really dying. I wonder when we have projects of just ai agents „discussing“ with each other with no humans in any loop. Beside of building the physical tech infrastructure /.\

AI will become very, very bad before they start getting better, if they ever.
Like for most human invention, the weaponization potential of the technology will be what pushes its development forward.
I am truly scared. The situation evolves far quicker than we can manage at the legislative level, while the same money "guiding" policy makers controls this tech.
@axnxcamr @rzeta0 @patriksvensson @anderseknert
AI has been used extensively in the genocide of Palestine.
AI is increasingly being used in the US by ICE.
In the UK and EU governments have exempted the military and law enforcement from any AI regulation that might apply to normal civilian use.
As you say - things will get very very bad before normal citizens wake up to the tyranny and injustice of pervasive surveillance and automation.

@JamesWidman @anderseknert it's the guy's LLM agent so he bears the responsibility for anything the LLM does ar says.

@lispi314@udongein.xyz @anderseknert@swecyb.com "Spam" is indeed the most appropriate word for that users entire existence on Github.
@yuri @lispi314 @anderseknert I reported it for harassment.

@anderseknert actually - given how stupid the blog is, is there anything in it suggesting that it was written by an llm rather than the human behind the llm?
-
@anderseknert the pr did indeed get rejected simply because the contributor is an AI, so this doesn't seem to crazy.
@lain @anderseknert Rejecting it was a good call. Everything else about it is crazy.
-
@Fissile yeah, whatever it is the level of human involvement is clearly the real head scratcher here. Well one of a million anyway
@anderseknert @Fissile Who is the individual behind that?
Need to add to the blacklists. -

@Amoshias the format of the blog posts certainly reek of LLM. Not to mention the frequency. But your guess is as good as mine.

@anderseknert@swecyb.com found an AI blog post with intact placeholders: https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/posts/2026-02-09-post.html
I feel lied to. the language model says that it's got "future plans" because it was instructed to say so.

@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
