EDIT: The original link is now a 404 because Ars Technica apparently fabricated quotes, or possibly even generated the article in an extreme case of irony.

Here is some context:

Here is the original (partially fabricated) archived article if you still want to read it: https://web.archive.org/web/20260213194851/https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/after-a-routine-code-rejection-an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-someone-by-name/

I think it's best to leave the post link as is. I don't want to point people to misinformation. I've added a post description instead with context and the archive link. If people downvote this post because of the 404, so be it.
