AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

What a time to be alive.

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/31132

Context: matplotlib is a very popular plotting library and the issue has the "good first issue" label aka it was an easy issue left for beginners.

FOSS is already strained for maintainers, curl closed their bug bounty due to AI slop and for some reason the maintainer engaged with the bot in good faith, as if it can be reasoned with. I want AI bros to get the wall.

If Discord’s age inference model can’t determine a user’s age, a government ID might still be required for age verification in its global rollout. According to Discord, to remove the new “teen-by-default” changes and limitations, “users can choose to use facial age estimation or submit a form of identification to [Discord’s] vendor partners, with more options coming in the future.”

The first option uses AI to analyze a user’s video selfie, which Discord says never leaves the user’s device. If the age group estimate (teen or adult) from the selfie is incorrect, users can appeal it or verify with a photo of an identity document instead. That document will be verified by a third party vendor, but Discord says the images of those documents “are deleted quickly — in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.”

With the new Identity and Facial Scan Requirements, I hope that Discord dies a painful death and people move back to old school forums or at least some open source platform like Element.

BYD has unveiled major breakthroughs in solid-state and sodium-ion battery technology, claiming up to 10,000 charge cycles with improved safety and lower costs. The development could dramatically reshape EV longevity, grid storage, and China’s long-term battery dominance.
