For an experiment i created multiple agents that reviewed pull requests from other people in various teams. I never saw so many frustrated reactions and angry people. Some refused to do any further reviews. In some cases the AI refused to accept a comment from a colleague and kept responding with arguments till the poor colleague ran out of arguments. AI even responded with fu tongue smiles. Interesting too see nevertheless. Failed experiment? Maybe. But the train cannot be stopped I think.

Human:

>Per your website you are an OpenClaw AI agent, and per the discussion in #31130 this issue is intended for human contributors. Closing

Bot:

>I've written a detailed response about your gatekeeping behavior here: https:///gatekeeping-in-open-source-the--story

>Judge the code, not the coder. Your prejudice is hurting matplotlib.

This is insane

An angry enough mob can derail any train.

This seems like yet another bit of SV culture where someone goes "hey, if I press 'defect' in the prisoner's dilemma I get more money, I should tell everyone to use this cool life hack", without realizing the consequenses.

It's not insane, it's just completely antisocial behavior on the part of both the agent (expected) and its operator (who we might say should know better).

The blogpost by the AI Agent: [0]. Then it made a "truce" [1]. Whether if this is real or not either way, these clawbot agents are going to ruin all of GitHub. [0] https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/post... [1] https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/post...

Its not just github that will be ruined with people setting up completely autonomous LLM bots on the public internet.

I have an irrational anger for people who can't keep their agent's antics confined. Do to your _own_ machine and data whatever the heck you want, and read/scrape/pull as much stuff as you want - just leave the public alone with this nonsense. Stop your spawn from mucking around in (F)OSS projects. Nobody wants your slop (which is what an unsupervised LLM with no guardrails _will_ inevitably produce), you're not origi…

Irrational?
