We talkin Lady Salvia or machine elves?

As a video producer, the AI baked into the Adobe suite is very useful (generative fill, harmonize, and neural filters in Photoshop, generative extend and AI noise reduction in Premiere, lots of older stuff in After Effects).

As far as LLMs go, I get a lot out of talking through things with Claude, or coding silly little toys that only matter to me. But I’d never trust an agent with tools or access. And Anthropic’s own research is a good place to start for why that won’t change anytime soon.

I often think of the old man that lost his horse.

Just re-watched '07 turtles movie. It holds up pretty well.

It kinda just puts them on par with their competitors in that regard. Microsoft had massive code leaks in 2020 and 2022, and Google had leaks in 2024 and 2025. Still, it’d be nice if this delayed the IPO.

I agree it’s a fascinating look under the cover. But I don’t think it’ll hurt Anthropic that much. Only Claude Code’s source leaked, not Claude itself. Most people use Claude through the web chat or mobile app. If you’re using Claude Code from the CLI, you’re using an API key, which is also true if you’re using Claude in Cursor or any other tool. Anthropic makes the same amount of money regardless of where that API’s being called from.

This leak does mean Anthropic’s lost some dominance in the code editor space, which will probably be good for the industry as a whole. We’re already seeing open source improvements made from people sorting through and learning from the leaked code. The only real loss is face. Their whole identity is safety, and this is the second leak this month. Oh, and some of their plans for upcoming releases.

Hush Spain, or you don’t get Catalonia either.

Patterns of linguistic simplification on social media platforms over time

The world’s richest men are concentrating control over the pipes through which all of this is running, all of our information.

I’m afraid we’re in/nearing the endgame of this tug of war, and we don’t control the physical infrastructure. Without an ISP that isn’t in bed with the government/corporatocracy, I’m not sure how we even keep freedom of speech alive long-term.
