alt Hacker News> the fact that is the first thing you learn humanises the username behind the keyboard
The username is macOS26. The name is "Agent!". As in "Agentic AI for your entire Mac Desktop". All commits are made by this entity.
Until someone here told me there is a real guy behind it I sincerely gotta say, it looks like there's no human behind the keyboard and actually there's no keyboard at all.
Combined with cancer message on top it made me think some LLM "agent" is trying different tricks because it was prompted to achieve maximum stars and forks. I feel shitty for saying this but how not to be cynical because literally that's what we degraded to thanks to "ai".

AI might increase the volume of shitty things on the internet, but it's not like GitHub accounts weren't anonymous before AI, and it's not like people weren't using scammy tactics to boost their star count before AI.
If the fear of AI turn us into worse people in our interactions, that's kind of on us, not AI
