People working on highly confidential code will NOT have access to the public internet.
There is a gulf and many shades between "this code should never be on an internet-connected device" and "it doesn't matter if this code is copied everywhere by absolutely anyone".

They could install anything. Including Claude Code and then run it in background as agent to exfiltrate data. I'm a security professional. This is unacceptable
I think the parent commenter was pointing out that, instead of installing Claude Code, they could just install actual malware. It's like that phrase Raymond Chen always uses: "you're already on the other side of the airtight hatchway."

What commonly gets installed in those cases is actual malware, a RAT (Remote Admin Tool) that lets the attacker later run commands on your laptop (kinda like an OpenSSH server, but also punching a hole through nat and with a server that they can broadcast commands broadly to the entire fleet). If the attacker wants to use AI to assist in looking for valuables on your machine, they won't install AI on your machine, th…
Interesting to think about how Apple get to make product decisions based on Gatekeeper OCSP analytics now that every app launch phones home. They must know exactly how popular VSCode is. Facebook got excoriated for doing that with Onavo but I guess it's Good Actually when it's done in the name of protecting my computer from myself lol
This won't make a dent. It still doesn't support any agentic operation. The real news is when Codex CLI / Claude Code get integrated, or Apple introduces a competitor offering to them. Until then this is a toy and should not be used for any serious work while these far better tools exist.
Compared to stock Claude Code, this version of Claude knows a lot more about SwiftUI and related technologies. The following is output from Claude in Xcode on an empty project. Claude Code gives a generic response when it looked at the same project:
What I Can Help You With
• SwiftUI Development: Layout, state management, animations, etc.
• iOS/macOS App Architecture: MVVM, data flow, navigation
• Apple Frameworks: Core Data, CloudKit, MapKit, etc.
• Testing: Both traditional XCTest and the new Swift Testing framework
• Performance & Best Practices: Swift concurrency, memory management
Example of What We Could Do Right Now
Looking at your current ContentView.swift, I could help you:
• Transform this basic "Hello World" into a recovery tracking interface
• Add navigation, data models, or user interface components
• Implement proper architecture patterns for your Recovery Tracker appEarlier quoted context omitted.

I guess that's on me for being oblivious enough that it took this obvious of a comment for me to be sure you're intentionally trolling. Nice work.
It seems every IDE now has AI built-in. That's a problem if you're working on highly confidential code. You never know when the AI is going to upload code snippets to the server for analysis.

I asked 2 things.
1. Create a boilerplate Zephyr project skeleton, for Pi Pico with st7789 spi display drivers configured. It generated garbage devicetree which didn't even compile. When I pointed it out, it apologized and generated another one that didn't compile. It configured also non-existent drivers, and for some reason it enabled monkey test support (but not test support).
2. I asked it to create 7x10 monochromatic pixelmaps, as C integer arrays, for numeric characters, 0-9. I also gave an example. It generated them, but number eight looked like zero. (There was no cross in ether 0 nor 8, so it wasn't that. Both were just a ring)
What am I doing wrong? Or is this really the state of the art?

Not trying to be mean but I would expect comments on HN on these kind of stories to be from people who have used AI in IDEs at this point. There is no AI integration that runs automatically on a codebase.
