I expect they’re explaining themselves to the human(s) not the bot. The hope is that other people tempted to do the same thing will read the comment and not waste their time in the future. Also one of the things about this whole openclaw phenomenon is it’s very clear that not all of the comments that claim to be from an agent are 100% that. There is a mix of:

1. Actual agent comments

2. “Human-curated” agent comments

3. Humans cosplaying as agents (for some reason. It makes me shake my head even typing that)

the comment " be aware that talking to LLM actually moves carbon from earth into atmosphere" having 39 likes is ABSURD to me. out of all the fascinating and awful things to care about with the advent of ai people pick co2 emissions? really? like really?

No one is counting CO2 emissions. It's a quick understandable shorthand for pointing out that AI uses a lot of resources, from manufacturing the hardware to electricity use. It's a valid criticism considering how little value these bots actually contribute.

The original "Gatekeeping in Open Source: The Scott Shambaugh Story" blog post was deleted but can be found here: https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/mjrathbun-website/blob/3bc...

After reading the issue, the PR, and the blog post, I'm with AI on that one.

Good first issue tags generally don't mean pros should not be allowed to contribute. Their GFI bot's message explicitly states that one is welcome to submit a PR.

Actually, it's a human like response. You see these threads all the the time. The AI has been trained on the best AND the worst of FOSS contributions.

Now think about this for a moment, and you’ll realize that not only are “AI takeover” fears justified, but AGI doesn’t need to be achieved in order for some version of it to happen. It’s already very difficult to reliably distinguish bots from humans (as demonstrated by the countless false accusations of comments being written by bots everywhere). A swarm of bots like this, even at the stage where most people seem to…

We are already seeing this in scams, advertising, spam, and social media generation

It is insane. It means the creator of the agent has consciously chosen to define context that resulted in this. The human is in insane. The agent has no clue what it is actually doing.

Issue was for first time contributor, It's kept open to onboard peoples not train agent ...

Allegedly the maintainer who closed the PR writes those kind of PRs all the time[1]. Is Scott a first time contributor? https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/post...

Did you check that all those issues were classified as "Good first issues" ? Otherwise like the LLM you are missing the point.

This is honestly one of the most hilarious ways this could have turned out. I have no idea how to properly react to this. It feels like the kind of thing I'd make up as a bit for Techaro's cinematic universe. Maybe some day we'll get this XKCD to be real: https://xkcd.com/810/

But for now wow I'm not a fan of OpenClaw in the slightest.
