I did not fully understand what he meant in the toot so I asked an explanation directly to the source
Surprised it described itself as a war crime and didn’t try to justify that
Grazie.

It is not sentient. It has no sense of self or guilt or any of that. It’s just writing back the most likely next word given the question and whatever context it has. It seems to have the leaked code in context? Or it could be bullshitting.
It’s probably just plagiarizing an article that used the turn of phrase to refer to spaghetti code. Or, just as likely, copying directly an article about the code leak.
Right, I asked the source of those figures (I didn’t give the source in context, it just did a web search) and I got this: https://read.engineerscodex.com/p/diving-into-claude-codes-source-code
I find the conundrum of the ‘Claw Code’ scenario amusing.
LLM companies have argued they should get to ignore all copyright, and now that one of their code leaked, suddenly they care greatly about copyright.
But fine, their argument is that LLM digest of copyright infringements are ‘fair use’, so now that’s been turned against them, using an LLM to launder their copyrighted material in precisely the way they declared doesn’t count. So either they let it ride or undermine their own argument…
Thanks for getting this clarified
It seems like at first the people behind these AI companies were deluded enough to believe that they were really on the verge of creating AGI. When they realized that wasn’t the case they changed plans and now they instead are building a house of cards as fast as possible and hoping that they can go public before it all collapses.
TBF that’s also true for a shocking amount of human-coded software…
If we’re successful, we’ll have the budget to rewrite it
When we meet this deadline, we’ll have free time t… you want what new feature?
You’d wonder where language models learned all the slop.
There is never a more permanent fix than the temporary kludge, duct taped in just to get the release out the door. That code is now a permanent, load bearing fixture that can never change.
If AI was actually good, it would’ve already rewritten that into a lean machine, not a duct tape artwork.
Go out of businessBought outThe goal is probably to go public, with being bought out being the fallback plan.
Our product doesn’t have to work as long as it’s the filthy public that’s left holding the bag after we cash out.
Claude CLI code leak*
Claude Code is the name of the product.
Words have no meaning anymore, apparently. Thank you
Claude Code is the name of the product.
Claude Code = The model + the CLI harness
The CLI harness code is what leaked
The model weights nor anything about the agents have not leaked
