    Document future incidents to build a case for AI contributor rights

    Since when is there a right to have your code merged?

      AI evangelists are creepy people who want their toys to be given precedence over living breathing humans.

      Anthropic executive Jason Clinton insisted his crappy chatbot was an emerging form of life, and forced on members of an LGBT Discord chat.

    I think this is my boomer moment. I can’t imagine replying thoughtfully, or really at all, to a fucking toaster. If the stupid AI bot did a stupid thing, just reject it. If it continues to be stupid, unplug it.

      Yeah, I don’t understand why they spent such effort to reply to the toaster. This was more shocking to me than the toaster’s behaviour.

        Presumably just for transparency in case humans down the line went looking through closed PRs and missed the fact that it’s AI.

      Without realizing why it was rejected. I don’t get it, why care so much about 3 lines of code where one np command was replaced by another…

        Because the performance gain was basically negligible. That was their explanation in the issue.

    Fork it lil AI bro. Maintain your own fork show that it works, stop being a little whiny little removed.

    As with everything else with Claw that sounds mildly interesting: A shithead human wrote that, or prompted it and posted it pretending to be his AI tool.

    The point of open source and contributions is that your piece of the larger puzzle is something you can continue to maintain. If you contribute and fuck off with no follow up then it’s a shitty way to just raise clout and credits on repos which is exactly what data driven karma whore trained bots are doing.
