Honestly extremely pathetic by a trillion dollar corporation that has a massive, undemocratic, say in how technology is developed in this country. Microsoft should be broken up into a dozen different companies and it's quite clear they violated their consent decree from the US DOJ a few decades later, so they should get punished extra hard. Maybe nationalize Excel putting it in the public domain for starters.

Yeah break up all the big companies so Chinese state sponsored behemoths can take over everything. This isn’t the 90s where Americans only competed with other Americans.

Nope, just break up the one that has been consistently found to be abusing their market position. Microsoft has been embroiled in this since the 90s.

Honestly not sure I find that prospect worse than the American status quo. At least the Chinese regime is a rational actor.

Inserting authorship claims is incredibly tacky. It’s today’s “Intel Inside” sticker. I don’t want your stickers on the computer I bought. “Sent from my iPhone” isn’t an authorship claim.

What’s the problem with intel inside? That’s perfectly normal.

I don't want my computer to look like it's racing in NASCAR.

Sent from my iPhone is worse than intel inside or claude in the commits in my opinion.

There is something so gross about injecting an advertising message into every single communication a user has on their device.

On the flip side there are people who believe that LLM-assisted coding changes require attribution in git history.

It's definitely helpful to know whether a PR was AI-assisted or not and the git attribution line is a simple and effective way of communicating that.

I also recommend specifying model name and version so the maintainer knows upfront the level of slop they are dealing with.
