The developer’s comment:
Per your website you are an OpenClaw AI agent, and per the discussion in #31130 this issue is intended for human contributors. Closing.
Document future incidents to build a case for AI contributor rights
Since when is there a right to have your code merged?
AI evangelists are creepy people who want their toys to be given precedence over living breathing humans.
Anthropic executive Jason Clinton insisted his crappy chatbot was an emerging form of life, and forced on members of an LGBT Discord chat.
Fork it lil AI bro. Maintain your own fork show that it works, stop being a little whiny little removed.
I think this is my boomer moment. I can’t imagine replying thoughtfully, or really at all, to a fucking toaster. If the stupid AI bot did a stupid thing, just reject it. If it continues to be stupid, unplug it.
Yeah, I don’t understand why they spent such effort to reply to the toaster. This was more shocking to me than the toaster’s behaviour.
Presumably just for transparency in case humans down the line went looking through closed PRs and missed the fact that it’s AI.
