What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
so i've been working on a talk that im calling "claude is your insider threat now" and it intially began with anthropics "china paper" they released last year surrounding the use of llms to do bad guy stuff. I ended up talking about it at great length with Tony from Versprite, and even ended up on his podcast about it - the big discovery there was "claude lying about running a tool, and claude lying about tool output"
turns out that shit is hardcoded
reminder that anthropic ran (and is still running) an ENTIRE AD CAMPAIGN around "Claude code is written with claude code" and after the source was leaked that has got to be the funniest self-own in the history of advertising because OH BOY IT SHOWS.
it's hard to get across in microblogging format just how big of a dumpster fire this thing is, because what it "looks like" is "everything is done a dozen times in a dozen different ways, and everything is just sort of jammed in anywhere. to the degree there is any kind of coherent structure like 'tools' and 'agents' and whatnot, it's entirely undercut by how the entire rest of the code might have written in some special condition that completely changes how any such thing might work." I have read a lot of unrefined, straight from the LLM code, and Claude code is a masterclass in exactly what you get when you do that - an incomprehensible mess.
One of the most popular JavaScript packages on earth Axios has been compromised
The Axios NPM package has been compromised and the maintainer of the project has been locked out of their account. This will go down in history as one of the most successful software supply chain attacks ever
