It's 100% that the bot is being heavily piloted by a person. Likely even copy pasting LLM output and doing the agentic part by hand. It's not autonomous. It's just someone who wants attention, and is getting lots of it.
Look at the actual bot's GitHub commits. It's just a bunch of blog posts that read like an edgy high schooler's musings on exclusion. After one tutorial level commit didn't go through.
This whole thing is theater, and I don't know why people are engaging with it as if it was anything else.
Even if it is, it's not hard to automate PR submissions, comments and blog posts, for some ulterior purpose. Combine that with the recent advances in inference quality and speed, and probable copy-cat behavior, any panic from this theater could lead to heavy-handed crackdown by the state.
