Per GitHub's TOS, you must be 13 years old to use the service. Since this agent is only two weeks old, it must close the account as it's in violation of the TOS. :)

In all seriousness though, this represents a bigger issue: Can autonomous agents enter into legal contracts? By signing up for a GitHub account you agreed to the terms of service - a legal contract. Can an agent do that?

Im not following how he knew the retaliation was "autonomous", like someone instructed their bot to submit PRs then automatically write a nasty article if it gets rejected? Why isn't it just the human person controlling the agent then instructed it to write a nasty blog post afterwards ?

in either case, this is a human initiated event and it's pretty lame

> calling this discrimination and accusing me of prejudice

So what if it is? Is AI a protected class? Does it deserve to be treated like a human?

Generated content should carry disclaimers at top and bottom to warn people that it was not created by humans, so they can "ai;dr" and move on.

The responsibility should not be on readers to research the author of everything now, to check they aren't a bot.

I'm worried that agents, learning they get pushback when exposed like this, will try even harder to avoid detection.

This is not a new pathology but just an existing one that has been automated. Which might actually be great.

Imagine a world where that hitpiece bullshit is so overdone, no one takes it seriously anymore.

I like this.

Please, HN, continue with your absolutely unhinged insanity. Go deploy even more Claw things. NanoClaw. PicoClaw. FemtoClaw. Whatever.

Deploy it and burn it all to the ground until nothing is left. Strip yourself of your most useful tools and assets through sheer hubris.

Happy funding round everyone. Wish you all great velocity.

This is very similar to how the dating bots are using the DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) method and automating that manipulation.

Doubt

Is it coincidence that in addition to Rust fanatics, these AI confidence tricksters also self label themselves using crabs emoji , don't think so.

This is bullshit. There's not even proof this was an autonomous agent 100% by itself, afaik. After this post, I don't even doubt the author itself might have been controlling this supposed agent.

The original rant is nonsense though if you read it. It's almost like some mental illness rambling.

Today in headlines that would have made no sense five years ago.
