Candidate for one of the PR threads of all time
In brief: OpenClaw bot sends PR to the matplotlib repo posing as a human, gets found out and is told to piss off in the politest terms imaginable, then gets passive aggressive to the point of publishing a pissy blog post about getting discriminated against. Some impoliteness ensues.
Cringe warning: thread may include some overt anthropomorphizing of text synthesizers.
I regret to inform y'all that the target of the blog post is a rat, or at least rat-adjacent

Makes sense, given the embarrassing lengths he went to not hurt the bot's feelings in that thread.
Regret? I dunno, a rat being harassed by a clanker seems fitting.
One of the few benefits of AI is that nowadays some PR threads are very entertaining to read.
