The fact the agent owner immediately sought donations instead of taking the L shows, at least to me, that they did not learn said lesson. That they tried to blame the dn42 community instead of taking accountability for letting an agent run wild also supports that conclusion.
This idiot learned nothing and seems intent on continuing in their mission for whatever reason. So long as they want to extract versus cooperate or contribute, I wish them nothing but miserable, expensive failure until they learn otherwise.
That used to be the default assumption, I don't know why people have become so gullible.
I also grew to understand the value of people digging deeper into the underlying issue, instead of just answering "how do you do X in Y". The usual reaction was "I don't want to explain to you why I want to do it like this. Just tell me how to do this!"
I toyed with the idea of (on open source projects) having the human assign any PR-bot submissions to their own bot (cheapest one available will do) with the explicit instructions to cause as much rework as possible.
Sorta like a tarpit. Could be cheaper if the rejection is generated from a markov chain as that's going to be cheaper than even a cheap LLM.
