> As Scott mentioned on his blog, what if someone stumbled upon the agent’s post? What if they believed it was real? It could have serious consequences for Scott’s personal or professional life. A recruiter could deny him a job, and a potential contributor to Matplotlib could step away from the project. The consequences could reach beyond this case.

What would it mean for it to be “real?” It’s a rant about him discriminating against AI.

If you believe that’s a problem, judge him accordingly, I guess. If you think it’s silly, as most people will, laugh about it.
