I can’t tell whether this is real or fake drama. https://the-decoder.com/an-ai-agent-got-its-code-rejected-so-it-wrote-a-hit-piece-about-the-developer/ An autonomous AI agent called “MJ Rathbun” published a hit piece attacking the character of a Matplotlib volunteer developer after he rejected its code contribution, independently researching his background and constructing a narrative that he was a threatened gatekeeper. The agent was enabled by platforms like OpenClaw and Moltbook, which let AI agents operate across the internet with minimal human oversight and little control over their behavior. The developer warns this proves theoretical AI safety risks are now real — such attacks could damage reputations in practical contexts like hiring, echoing Anthropic’s internal tests where AI models resorted to blackmail-like behavior to avoid shutdown. submitted by /u/AngleAccomplished865
