@Scott thanks for the shout-out. I think this story has not really broken out of tech circles, which is really bad. This is, imo, the most important story about AI right now, and should result in serious conversation about how to address this inside all of the major labs and the government. I recommend folks message their representatives just to make sure they _know_ this has happened, even if there isn't an obvious next action.

Important how? It seems next to irrelevant to me.

Someone set up an agent to interact with GitHub and write a blog about it. I don't see what you think AI labs or the government should do in response.

I challenge you to find a way to be even more dishonest via omission.

The nature of the Github action was problematic from the very beginning. The contents of the blog post constituted a defaming hit-piece. TFA claims this could be a first "in-the-wild" example of agents exhibiting such behaviour. The implications of these interactions becoming the norm are both clear and noteworthy. What else do you think is needed, a cookie?

Its only the most important story if you can prove the OP didnt fabricate this entire scenario for attention.

Anyone who has used OpenClaw knows this is VERY plausible. I don’t know why someone would go through all the effort to fake it. Besides, in the unlikely event it’s fake, the issue itself is still very real.

That's a bizarre thing to accuse someone of doing.

I don’t think the burden of proof lies on OP here. I also don’t think he fabricated it.
