alt Hacker NewsRight, the agent published a hit piece on Scott. But I think Scott is getting overly dramatic. First, he published at least three hit pieces on the agent. Second, he actually managed to get the agent shut down.
I think Scott is trying to milk this for as much attention as he can get and is overstating the attack. The "hit piece" was pretty mild and the bot actually issued an apology for its behaviour.

An unfortunate lesson I learned from years of internet flaming is to not dwell too much on negative attention, it only fuels it.
Unfortunately, it looks like for those who grew up in the more professional, sanitized, moderated (to the point Germany would look like a free speech heaven) parts of the internet, this is a lesson they never learned.

No.

He asked crabby-rathbun's operator to stop its GitHub activity. This was so GitHub would not delete the account. This was to preserve records of what happened.[1] The operator could have chosen to continue running the agent more responsibly. And what was the proof the operator shut it down?

This was meaningless. And the human issued not an apology for their behavior.

Hit piece... On an agent? Would it be a "hit piece" if I wrote a blog post about the accuracy of my bathroom scale?
I don't understand the personal attack and victim blaming here. Who wouldn't want to do anything in their power to seek justice after being harmed?
The hit piece you claimed as "mild" accused Scott of hypocrisy, discrimination, prejudice, insecurity, ego, and gatekeeping.
>First, he published at least three hit pieces on the agent.
Is this a joke?
This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI behavior in the wild
It feels to me there's an element of establishing this as some kind of landmark that they can leverage later.
Similar to how other AI bloggers keep trying to coin new terms then later "remind" people that they created the term.
