I find the AI agent highly intriguing and the matplotlib guy completely uninteresting. Like an the ai wrote some shit about you and you actually got upset?

If you read the articles by the matplotlib guy, he's pretty clearly not upset. But he does call out that it could do more harm to someone else.

Whether the victim is upset or not, the story here is that some clown's uncontrolled, unethical, and (hopefully?) illegal psychological experiment wasted a huge amount of an open source maintainer's time. If you benefit from open source software (which I assure you, since you've used quite a lot of it to post a comment on the orange website, you do!) this should ring some alarm bells.

He's not upset. He saw an opportunity and is currently surfing it. That is, if it's not entirely fabricated. Expect maybe 5 or 6 stories very similar to this one, or analogous, this year.

Looking forward to part 8 of this series: An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – What my Ordeal Says About Our Dark Future
