The irony is thick. The dev is paying Anthropic $200 a month, but $100 a year for code-signing is extortion.

Code signing and sandboxing exists for a very good reasons (security and privacy) and it's easy enough to ship a sandboxed app.

The README has plenty of Claude-isms too.

I think the most charitable explanation for this is that it's because polarizing content (aka ragebait) gets views/plays, which the ranking algorithms directly optimize for.

Also, this isn't a new phenomenon. If you're interested, I'd recommend reading Shoshana Zuboff's 2018 book: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.

Kimi is the closest Chinese equivalent of Anthropic.

I think they could've redacted using a small model like OpenAI's privacy-filter model instead of rewriting.

Bad for humans in general, good for hucksters and con artists. Net negative for humanity.

IMO, it's similar to what's happening with code. People have been shipping sloppy code and fake news forever. It's just that the cost of doing these things has fallen off a cliff.

Lobbying is corruption with a layer of indirection.

Did you mean grifts?
