"Summary: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a
personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage
my reputation and shame me into accepting its changes into a mainstream python
library. This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI
behavior in the wild, and raises serious concerns about currently deployed AI
agents executing blackmail threats."
