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.

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.
