      @anderseknert I liked the responses trying to explain to the LLM the reasoning behind their policies.

        @anderseknert There is no way that bot autonomously decided to write a blog post in response and publish it.

        Its operator did that.

        @Fissile Looking at the blog it seems to be posting about 1-2 posts for pretty much every thing it’s done on GitHub. Clearly instructed to do so, but I don’t think a human wrote anything.

          @anderseknert is it "crabby" and the crab emoji that indicates that _all_ of it is openclaw? That's ... insane. In so many ways tbh.

                    @anderseknert This is wild. I first saw the blog post link, read it and thought someone was incorrectly identified as an agent.

                    Then I saw the PR and oh wow. I hope this bubble bursts soon.

                      @Fissile yeah, whatever it is the level of human involvement is clearly the real head scratcher here. Well one of a million anyway 😄

                        @Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson again, I’m going broken record here.

                        But automating flame wars and flooding the zone like this is _precisely_ the easiest use case for the technology.

                        It was only a matter of time.

                          @Fissile @anderseknert I think it's more like a log that the agent has been instructed to write as blog posts. Probably in an "angry" way when the PR gets rejected because AI-generated.

                            @patriksvensson @anderseknert I was thinking the same but then I started thinking that the reply has its place.

                            Not as a reply to the bot but as a statement to the community and everyone else who ends up on that PR.

                                  @anderseknert @deuchnord Well, that still means, a human instructed it to do that. We shouldn't let anyone get fooled into thinking this was autonomous behaviour.
