If you pull the trigger on a gun, you are responsible for whatever the bullet does, regardless of whether you intended the particular outcome. The legal consequences of a bad outcome might be different based on your intent (e.g. manslaughter is a lesser charge than first degree murder) but the fact of your responsibility doesn't change.

If you loose an AI agent on the world, giving it "agency" to interact "autonomously" with others, you personally are responsible for what it does, whether you intend that outcome or not.

Whoever is responsible for "crabby-rathbun" on github is absolutely as individually personally responsible for the attack that their "AI agent" perpetrated as if they had personally written the offensive blog post. Someone made the decision to give this code "agency" to operate "autonomously" and we really need to know who to hold to account for this antisocial behavior.
