But this was you, right?

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/31138

I guess you were putting up the same PR the LLM did?

I forked the bot’s repo and resubmitted the PR as a human because I’m dumb and was trying to make a poorly constructed point. The original bot is not mine. Christ this site is crazy.

This site might very well be crazy, but in this instance you did something that caused confusion and now people are confused, you yourself admit it's a poor joke/poorly constructed point, it's not difficult to believe you - it makes sense, but i'm not sure it's a fair attack given the situation. Guessing you don't know who wrote the hit piece either?

The assertion was that they're the bot owner. They denied this and explained the situation.

Continuing to link to their profile/ real name and accuse them of something they've denied feels like it's completely unwarranted brigading and likely a violation of HN rules.

Gotcha - that makes sense.

FWIW I get the spirit of what you were going for, but maybe a little too on the nose.

If I ever saw an argument for more walls, more private repos, less centralization, I think we are there.

The post is incomprehensible, but it does end:

> Author's Note: I had a lot of fun writing this one! Please do not get too worked up in the comments. Most of this was written in jest. -Ber

Are you sure it's not just misalignment? Remember OpenClaw referred to lobsters ie crustaceans, I don't think using the same word is necessarily a 100% "gotcha" for this guy, and I fear a Reddit-style set of blame and attribution.

Sorry, I'm not connecting the dots. Seeing your EDIT 2, I see how Ber following crabby-rathbun would lead to Ber posting https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/31138 , but I don't see any evidence for it actually being Ber's bot.

You might want to do yourself a favor and add that context to the PR to distance yourself from the slanderous ai agent.

But that was the entire point of the "joke".

Did you really think posting this comment[1] in the PR would be interpreted charitably?

> Original PR from #31132 but now with 100% more meat. Do you need me to upload a birth certificate to prove that I'm human?

Post snark, receive snark.

There's a difference between snark and brigading, especially after the issue has been clarified.

Yes, I'm with you there. In either case, their behavior is unacceptable and reads as bad faith.
