This story has been retracted...

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:
https://mastodon.social/@nikclayton/116065459933532659
https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/journalistic-standards.1511650/

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/
