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?
