It doesn't have to be world-ending. Autonomous, malicious agent swarms are something we haven't had to deal with. What does mitigation of a malicious, self-replicating swarm worm look like? We will find out soon enough.

They're the exception, not the rule. They get crawled like any other site, but happen to host git repositories. It's not obvious that these are targeted crawls and they likely may just end up in crawling queues a lot generally

>On March 4, we changed Claude Code's default reasoning effort from high to medium to reduce the very long latency—enough to make the UI appear frozen—some users were seeing in high mode
