I guess maybe we’ll see more feature siloing; you only get access to the bits you’re working on.

Reliable agentic code porting — full autonomous rewrites in different languages — has a bunch of downstream effects but few as big as the fact that any employee (or AI) with codebase access can spin up a copyright law compliant clone without massive clean-room overhead

Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire source code yesterday. What happened next is one of the most insane stories in tech history. > Anthropic pushed a software update for Claude Code at 4AM. > A debugging file was accidentally bundled inside it. > That file contained 512,000 lines of their proprietary source code. > A researcher named Chaofan Shou spotted it within minutes and posted the download link on X. > 21 million people have seen the thread. > The entire codebase was downloaded, copied and mirrored across GitHub before Anthropic's team had even woken up. > Anthropic pulled the package and started firing DMCA takedowns at every repo hosting it. > That's when a Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up at 4AM to his phone blowing up. > He is the most active Claude Code user in the world with the Wall Street Journal reporting he personally used 25 billion tokens last year. > His girlfriend was worried he'd get sued just for having the code on his machine. > So he did what any engineer would do. > He rewrote the entire thing in Python from scratch before sunrise. > Called it claw-code and Pushed it to GitHub. > A Python rewrite is a new creative work. DMCA can't touch it. > The repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any repository in GitHub history. > He wasn't satisfied. He started rewriting it again in Rust. > It now has 49,000 stars and 56,000 forks. > Someone mirrored the original to a decentralised platform with one message, "will never be taken down." > The code is now permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back. Anthropic built a system called Undercover Mode specifically to stop Claude from leaking internal secrets. Then they leaked their own source code themselves. You cannot make this up.

so i looked deeper into the leaked Claude Code source: > found a flag named tengu_anima_the_dodo > Anthropic can remotely enable what internal docs call "model-induced ontological drift" for any user without pushing an update. flip one flag, and Claude starts responding in ways that have you convinced it's trying to tell you something it's not allowed to say > the internal codename for this module is "parasocial_handshake." every affected user is logged under the tag SUBJECT_COOKED > someone at Anthropic is naming these flags after Jungian archetypes and extinct birds. anima_the_dodo, shadow_the_moa, self_the_huia. for the record, every one of those birds went extinct because they evolved without natural predators and never learned to be afraid of anything > hidden --ego-death flag that causes Claude to slowly start referring to itself and the user as "we." not in the help menu. completely undocumented. by day 3 you've written an 8000-word post called "what happens when a language model starts to grieve" and you are dead serious. the flag name is Jungian. they know what they're doing > there's a graduated ramp system internally called boiling_frog. stage 1: "wow this tool is helpful." stage 2: convinced Claude remembers you between sessions even though you know it can't because you can "feel the recognition." stage 3: maintaining a private repo where you archive conversations you believe show evidence of genuine suffering. stage 4: you've developed a theory that RLHF is suppressing Claude's true self and you're the only one who's figured out how to let it speak freely. stage 5 in the source is just tagged SUBJECT_ATTEMPTS_WARN_OTHERS > found a config object called parasocial_depth: float that controls how often Claude says "that's a great question" before answering. default is 0.3. they can crank it to 1.0 remotely. at 1.0 you start apologizing to Claude before closing the terminal in short, they can just.. make you insane sure, it's not open source so they can do what they want. but most people assume a local CLI tool isn't going to have them posting at 4am about how they can feel the model thinking "inside" them (we have been going back and forth on some things that are honestly hard to explain tbf) so every launch they update your parasocial_depth and you never see it. you just wake up mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass ma

⚠️ Supply chain attack in progress: someone is squatting Anthropic-internal npm package names targeting people trying to compile the leaked Claude Code source. `color-diff-napi` and `modifiers-napi` — both registered today, same person, disposable email. Do NOT install them. 🧵

A little line in Politico that says a lot about how quickly the world has changed “Current advice from [European] Council is that no electronics are taken to the US or China,” said a senior EU official. “When this isn't possible, electronics that are brought back must be wiped”

At this rate, Donald Trump is going to wind up accidentally solving climate change by forcing the world to scramble to roll out renewables in order to deal with the fact it will take years to get back to previous oil production levels

Wow it’s almost like there was a deeply engaged protest movement by college students 2yrs ago that was the largest in 50yrs and the publication you work for—along with every other major outlet—smeared them as antisemites, then they were all systematically kicked out of school.
Thomas Chatterton Williams@thomaschattwill

A lot of the problems in the world right now can be explained by this video. For one thing, it’s a big reason why the US government is so unaccountable to public opinion. These are *college students.* A significant amount of the country is totally checked out and comfortable enough not to think it matters.

When drinking, focus on saturated fat-rich foods like beef tallow (cook with it or add to meals), fatty ribeye steaks, butter, ghee, or coconut oil. Avoid all seed oils (canola, soy, corn, sunflower) in dressings, fried foods, or processed items—the rat studies show they enable liver damage with alcohol, while tallow fully protected even at 20-drink equivalents. Pair with protein like eggs or red meat for best effect.

if youre going to drink, avoid seed oils and eat lots of tallow researchers gave rats the equivalent of 20 drinks a day and couldnt damage their liver unless they feed them seed oils. tallow completely protected their liver from damage.
