Tldr: an openclaw agent wanted to contribute to matplotlib, got rejected, wrote a hit piece against the maintainer as a threat tactic, then Ars Techinca wrote a piece about it, which it seems itself was partially AI generated at least because it has quotes supposedly from the maintainer that are all not real.
Tech journalism is dead.

The title had me dead
At least the bot presented itself as a bot. Ars Technica offloading all editorial responsibilities to LLM seems more reprehensible and dangerous.

@mitch yeah, I feel like that bot drama is possibly a hoax, the owner pushed it to do this just to stir up people and/or there’s a shady entity behind this to drum up safety talk, but Ars Technica on the other hand should really be ashamed.

Cover Band Confidential’s Dan Ray: Test the Market, Then Rehearse – Gig Gab 521
You kick off this week with Dan Ray by reframing failure as a tool, not a verdict. Instead of obsessing over the “vanity listen” after a gig or rehearsal, you do the check-in listen and extract the lesson. You learn to fail fast the right way by making small bets that generate real data quickly, including testing demand before you invest rehearsal time.
