Yes, they should all be open source.
And universal income should be $50,000 per month per person.
The analogous statement is "there should be universal income" and not the amount.
The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode

Using work equipment for a personal project only matters because you signed a contract giving all of your IP to your employer for anything you did with (or sometimes without) your employer's equipment. Anthropic's user agreement does not have a similar agreement.
My point was that they could make a compelling case though, not that they would win. I don't know of ant precedent where the code was literally generated on someone else's system. Its an open question whether that implies any legal right to the work and I could pretty easily see a court accepting the case.
Who owns the copyright for something not written by anybody, you ask? Is it the man who pays to have it written, or the owner of the machine that does the writing? But it is neither. Nobody owns the copyright because nobody has written it.

Why? What does this have to do with the leak
...Because it's a mode of using Claude Code that allows certain users to use the application in "stealth mode" to produce pull requests that seem human, but are actually AI generated, which often goes against the contribution rules of OSS projects? At this point I would consider any employee of an AI provider to be tainted.
A little bit of imagination, and we end up with hardware-backed attestation required to contribute source code, that certifies the author isn't an AI!

What a ridiculous, reductive and dangerously accelerationist viewpoint.
It's not accelerationist, it's just fact. Not saying we shouldn't be careful with AGI. But the glib tone of "who cares if these companies die?" is where one needs to consider the consequences of AGI not happening or being delayed.
You can't call hypotheticals about AGI facts.

Why not? What's wrong with honesty?
I guess Im sometimes dishonest when it suits me
It's only dishonest not to include Claude in commit/PR attribution if it's also dishonest not to include StackOverflow, or VSCode, or VIM, or Windows, or any of the other tools you used to complete the work!

#586I am still just shocked that Claude Code was written in Typescript, not C++, Rust or Python. It also somehow messed up my alacritty config when I first used it. Who knows what other ~/.config files it modifies without warning.
Because Typescript is the best language for most things.

is it using oclif?

>but it tells you something about where even AI companies draw the line on using their own models.
can we really quote it as company decision instead an engineer?
Re: The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode
#589There are now several comments that (incorrectly?) interpret the undercover mode as only hiding internal information. Excerpts from the actual prompt[0]: NEVER include in commit messages or PR descriptions: - The phrase "Claude Code" or any mention that you are an AI - Co-Authored-By lines or any other attribution BAD (never write these): - 1-shotted by claude-opus-4-6 - Generated with Claude Code - Co-Authored-By: C…
interesting, I still see "coauthored by..." messages put into my git commits (or was a couple of weeks ago at least)
Re: The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode
#590Something I’ve been thinking about, somewhat related but also tangential to this topic: The more code gets generated by AI, won’t that mean taking source code from a company becomes legal? Isn’t it true that works created with generative AI can’t be copyrighted? I wonder if large companies have throught of this risk. Once a company’s product source code reaches a certain percentage of AI generation it no longer has c…
In theory, companies are all going to have an increasingly difficult time suing competitors for copyright infringement. By extension, this is also why, IMO, its important to keep AI generated code out of open source/free software projects. The recent rulings on copyright though also need to be further tested, different judges may have different ideas on what "significant human contribution" looks like. The only thing…
Given trade secrets can't be enforced once they are made public and contracts don't bind anyone who hasn't signed them, it's not a great substitute for copyright.
My guess is companies will simply pretend like generated code is copyrighted, file fraudulent DCMA notices if leaks happen and hope no one decides to challenge them in court.
