      @anderseknert that kinda is pretty funny, ngl.
      But the way peeps treating it like a sentient being is kinda worrying. It’s not really the AI hallucinating here …

        @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?

        @Larymir @anderseknert You may be right. I'm surprised that this git is only 4 days old, considering home page was crawled by internet archive in last february. "about" page was not, however. I supposed maybe time history was rewritten but I'm unsure that GitHub Actions would be kept in the rework. Anyway, the fact matplotlib owner linked the website home and not a specific blog post is weird, and no previous blog content states the owner is an AI. Something is fishy to say the least

              The worst aspect of these agents and LLMs is that they write text as if they're thinking or have agency like a human does. The bot saying "I" is already an attack on human communication.

                Discriminating against llm output is no different from discriminating against RNG output. Just because someone assigned a name to the llm does not make it suddenly a person 🀣

                  It's... github. You know, prince of darkness, ruiner of flans, darkness in a time of pogo sticks.

                          @rberthier @anderseknert I tried to look for force pushes that can hide such things/rewrite the history but didn't find anything. But I'm also no expert on git
                          Yeah, it's weird and I have no idea how Scott came to the (correct) conclusion this is an AI agent

                                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.

                                    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

                                      And actual humans interact with it as though it is sentient. We are fucking doomed.

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

                                          @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.
