So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.

Totally trustworthy people.

(Any open source project that at the very least requires disclosure of AI-authored contributions should immediately ban Anthropic employees on principle.)

@aral Honestly I don't actually hate this.

It's a tool. The _user_ is responsible for what they're submitting. It's putting code generated by them in their name. I think this is actually good.

@aredridel I do see your point. But the subterfuge is also telling.
@aral Yeah. I take it as semi-joking, but with an attitude I find repugnant. But it's mostly repugnant in the 'customers are resources to be exploited' way, the way that infects most product dev language.
