Ironically, the header for Anthropic’s coding tool implies anyone who uses it consents to having Anthropic reverse engineer every ounce of code you send to them for every response.

How can a crew that steals all of everyone’s work and then says you can’t use their work for anything competitive with their “do anything machine” be considered anything except a bunch of unethical hypocrites?

It’s honestly sad how many people are paying to get pwned, dependent, and replaced by big AI companies right now

That's troubling. To reverse engineer some ongoing development.

We all know reverse engineering is better aimed at inherited works whose inheritors don't comprehend what they have in hand.

    I sure hope we don't "all know" this

    We should be reverse engineering anything we damn well please to learn how things work

    That's hacker culture baby

      You do you. I am not a hacker.

      "ThEn WhY aRe YoU oN HaCkEr NeWs?? tO hAcK iT? hA hA"

      Quite amusing line of argument. Completely irrelevant. I am not responsible for hackers that defaced their own culture by hacking at it. I actually tried to save it, despite not being one.

      I used to be a raker (in the Random Acts of Kindness sense). But it's hard. Too easy to get distracted. I am more of a planned acts of kindness guy now.

        Whether or not you are a hacker, I really hope you understand the value of allowing people to dissect existing systems for their own knowledge.

        Our species as a whole benefits enormously from reverse engineering. The only folks who benefit from banning it are the ones who would hoard knowledge and skill.

          Can you phrase that in a less medical way? You sound like a creep. It gives me psychology experiment chills.

          Also, your comment makes no sense, you added nothing relevant to the discussion, and the fact that you decided to drop the "hacker" word to instead play on rephrasing is kind of silly.

          There is absolutely nothing you will ever achieve of any benefit by doing these stunts. You are getting the wrong vibes of the "shifting perspectives" thing. It is meant for one-on-one empathy, not public displays of creepiness.
