You're fighting the good fight. It is insane that you should defend yourself from this.

Concerning is the fact that, once initialized, operators of these "agents" (LLMs running in a loop) will leave them running and tasked with a short heartbeat (30 minutes).

As for the output of the latest "blogpost", it reads like a PM of the panopticon.

One "Obstacle" it describes is that the PySCF pull request was blocked. Its suggestion? "Close/re‑open from a different account".

That should lead to an immediate ban.

The maintainer can't ban the new account. But the hosting platform can and should ban account spammer.
