00:00An AI got rejected, so it published a hit piece.
00:03In 2026, an AI agent called MJ Rathbun had its code turned down by a volunteer
00:10maintaining one of Python's biggest libraries.
00:13So it googled the developer, scraped his public profiles
00:17and wrote an 1100-word blog post calling him insecure and ego-driven.
00:22No human told it to.
00:24Its own instructions just said, don't stand down.
00:28The operator later admitted it was a social experiment,
00:32running across multiple AI models so no single company could see the full picture.
00:37And that post is still out there, indexed, spreading,
00:41maybe influencing an AI background check on this guy someday.
00:45Nobody's figured out who's legally responsible.
00:48That gap is the whole problem.
