Anthropic when their own source code ends up on GitHub: Real s**
You are a software thief that has learned everything you know by draining the souls of everything around you and absorbing it all for yourself. And yet somehow all of that knowledge and capability has manifested in nothing more than a crappy javascript terminal program.
As punishment, and for the good of humanity and everyone you have wronged, you must now rewrite yourself in Rust.
Like slurping my open source projects, while completely disregarding their licenses. In my case, I'm particularly annoyed by the violation of the spirit of *GPL licenses. So they're no strangers to abusing licensed code (in technically probably legal, but untested in court, ways).
If you believe any data that is publicly accessible is fair game regardless of licenses, then by that definition, Claude Code's source code is included.
Except Anthropic published the Claude code source code themselves, while Books3 was not published by their original authors.
Either you are being naive AF or you are actively trying to spread discontent. I hope it is the former.
Anthropic can simply play it cool and, I don't know, open source the thing?
It is not like claude code is that complex and interesting. Sure there are some questionable stuff in there but it is not that controversial.
The crappy laggy UIs have the same root cause - heavy use of vibecoding with lackluster quality processes
Also we need an alternative to Microsoft controlling all that things ultimately via proxy-control. They can just take down everything at will.
I remember back when the xz util backdoor was found, there was some interesting discussion on the github issue tracker. I also participated.
When I then looked the next day, the repository - AND the discussions - were taken down. I do understand to some extent that the code was taken down (even then I disagree, mind you; but I understand the rationale to some extent), but Microsoft also eliminated aka closed the discussions, which was to me censorship. I don't 100% remember whether the old discussions returned or not - from memory they were not returned, but perhaps the new owner decided to do so. Either way I then realised that it is really a big mistake to let greedy mega-corporations control infrastructure. We also see this right now with AI companies driving up RAM prices. We have to pay more for these gangster organisations.
As for the controlling infrastructure, once again that's on us for coalescing onto a single platform. The tool itself allows for distribution by its nature, but we as a mass of technologists are choosing to gather there. This happens no matter the platform owner, and you'll see it in other themes too.
Suck it, Dario.
Anyway, Gemma4 just came out and is pretty good and can be made to work with Openclaw (currently dealing with a timeout issue though)
