Passing thought on the Claude code leak, and how messy and wasteful the code apparently is (as many of us suspected):

There’s been a lot of focus on the energy & environmental costs of running LLMs. There are also energy & environmental costs to deploying LLM-generated code.

Similarly, there’s a lot of focus on the kickbacks cloud vendors who fund AI get from LLMs renting their servers. There may be a similar kickback from computationally inefficient LLM-generated software renting their servers.
