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

        @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 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.

                @patriksvensson agreed. It won’t stop bots from seeking revenge outside of your repo though.. which is what felt newsworthy here. And of course extremely disturbing.

                @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.

                  @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

                                @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.

                                  @anderseknert Oh man I thin the whole time that I should start to write a blog because connect with humans to make internet great again is actually what I want.
                                  I won't read blogs on any platform anymore because of the AI crap. The "content" there haa no value for me.

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

                                    Its operator did that.

                                      @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.

                                        AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
                                        PR gets rejected.
                                        AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

                                        What a time to be alive.

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

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

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