I haven't look at the source code. There was a thread on how it was accidentally released in a debugging file in a public release. There was a thread on Reddit how it was converted from Typescript to Python and Rust and posted in multiple places to defy DCMA takedown requests.
The dispute between Anthropic and the US military was a couple weeks ago about using Claude for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. It sounds like a noble goal, but a losing one. Surveillance is the most practical way to collect human knowledge. Remember that the goal of AI is not intelligence. It is to model human behavior. You can't do that without surveillance. But it's voluntary. Everything you do on your phone or any electronics is recorded, but who's going to give it up? As for autonomous weapons, that's just the future of warfare, like it or not. The era of manned planes, tanks, ships, and nuclear missiles is over. It's going to be drones the size of birds and insects with precise targeting. -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] On Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:58 AM John Rose via AGI <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at 5:20 PM, Matt Mahoney wrote: > > Source code isn't really useful without a data center full of GPUs to run > it.
