Surprised it described itself as a war crime and didn’t try to justify that.
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.
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…
Or, and in my view the most likely option, they will get away with ripping off the little guy AND claiming “but bruh mah copyright” because they have very well paid lawyers and most western countries but especially the US have a two tiered legal system designed to protect the rich and punish the poor.
I did not fully understand what he meant in the toot so I asked an explanation directly to the source

Grazie.

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

Thanks for getting this clarified
