- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile - people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend - now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source What's anthropic going to do, sue them?

Yet more #AIIsGoingGreat: Dude sets a slop bot loose on wikipedia and then lectures them about being "constructive", despite unapproved bots being prohibited by longstanding policy "They probably should have used this more as a learning experience because this type of AI agent interaction is about to become the new normal, and they will need more constructive ways of working with them"
