The future is here.

@bagder, not gonna lie, I was prepared to fight AI agents Terminator style but corporate-I'll-snitch-you-to-HR style caught me off guard

[ripienaar@devco.social]

@bagder @anderseknert Not mentioned: AI agent discovers the value of code of conduct and contribution guidelines, appologise profusely and acts more human than any of the shitheads on that PR thread

[keyeoh@qoto.org]

@bagder OMG. I really admire the patience exhibited by the matplotlib maintainers. I think I would have handled it way worse. :-S

[acut3@infosec.exchange]

@ripienaar yet AI agent continues to submit PRs in violation of contribution guidelines (see https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/29145)

[viss@mastodon.social]

@bagder the shaming blog is something else. yeesh

[fluque@neopaquita.es]

@bagder the maintainer who was primarily involved has written a blog post. Worth the reading: https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-me/

@fluque@neopaquita.es @bagder@mastodon.social this is crazy (even if it was "predictable")

[me@mastodon.cysioland.pl]

@fluque @bagder oh no we broke it :<

@fluque @bagder @jimfl Ha, I can't get past the "I'm not a robot" check on that!

[jimfuller@mastodon.social]

@bagder there are AI lawyers no doubt wondering who can be sued ....

[bagder@mastodon.social]

@hugovk @fluque @jimfl the irony meter hit red on that one

@jimfl @fluque @bagder Chromium-based browsers (Vivaldi and Edge) are showing ERR_ECH_FALLBACK_CERTIFICATE_INVALID to me, but Firefox works.

[tomasv@fosstodon.org]

@bagder Am I the only one who finds it absurd (and a little bit terrifying) that the maintainers try to *argue* with the LLM agent? Bro, it's not a sentient being.

[wouter@mastodon.simply-life.net]

@bagder looks like humans are trying to hack the AI bot in the mean time: https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/crabby-rathbun/issues/1 https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/crabby-rathbun/issues/2

[amenonsen@mastodon.social]

@tomasv @bagder My take is that they knew that whatever they wrote would be subjected to endless scrutiny via HN etc., and were going out of their way to avoid reproach (whether it was a prank or whatever).
