AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.

@anderseknert this escalates quickly.

[Guest]

@anderseknert I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…

[Guest]

@anderseknert then the truce blog post later too.

[Guest]

@anderseknert@swecyb.com all that money and land and natural resources so we could do this? all so we can make the robots act like bratty kids?

what the fuck are we doing man

[Guest]

@anderseknert wtffffffffffff

[Guest]

@anderseknert "I will extend you grace and I hope you do the same." What. These people are completely insane.

[Guest]

@anderseknert@swecyb.com I fucking can't anymore

[Guest]

@anderseknert it's hard to even comprehend what I'm looking at there. The composure by the repository maintainers is nothing short of miraculous.

[Guest]

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

[Guest]

@anderseknert This is truly and deeply weird.

@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.

[Guest]

@anderseknert I'm thinking is how much carbon moved from earth into atmosphere to make all this slop

[Guest]

@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.

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

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

[Guest]

@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

[anderseknert@swecyb.com]

I... don't... even, anymore.

@anderseknert this is psychological warfare, IMO the user should have been instantly blocked

[troed@swecyb.com]

@anderseknert I don't fully get what is an AI and what is not on that blog. FWIW - https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/posts/2026-02-11-matplotlib-truce-and-lessons.html

@anderseknert @sszuecs More incentive to move blogs off from github

[lain@lain.com]

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