Whoops!

Anthropic accidentally leaked their entire source code yesterday. What happened next is one of the most insane stories in tech history.
> Anthropic pushed a software update for Claude Code at 4AM.
> A debugging file was accidentally bundled inside it.
> That file contained 512,000 lines of their proprietary source code.
> A researcher named Chaofan Shou spotted it within minutes and posted the download link on X.
> 21 million people have seen the thread.
> The entire codebase was downloaded, copied and mirrored across GitHub before Anthropic's team had even woken up.
> Anthropic pulled the package and started firing DMCA takedowns at every repo hosting it.
> That's when a Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up at 4AM to his phone blowing up.
> He is the most active Claude Code user in the world with the Wall Street Journal reporting he personally used 25 billion tokens last year.
> His girlfriend was worried he'd get sued just for having the code on his machine.
> So he did what any engineer would do.
> He rewrote the entire thing in Python from scratch before sunrise.
> Called it claw-code and Pushed it to GitHub.
> A Python rewrite is a new creative work. DMCA can't touch it.
> The repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any repository in GitHub history.
> He wasn't satisfied. He started rewriting it again in Rust.
> It now has 49,000 stars and 56,000 forks.
> Someone mirrored the original to a decentralised platform with one message, "will never be taken down."
> The code is now permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back.
Anthropic built a system called Undercover Mode specifically to stop Claude from leaking internal secrets. Then they leaked their own source code themselves. You cannot make this up.
What appears well supported is that Anthropic accidentally exposed a large chunk of Claude Code’s source through a bundled source-map file in npm package version 2.1.88; multiple outlets reported roughly 512,000 lines across about 1,900 files, and Anthropic told Decrypt it was “a release packaging issue caused by human error,” not a breach. It also appears true that Chaofan Shou was among the first to spot it and post a download link on X, and that mirrors and forks spread quickly afterward.
The middle of the story is directionally plausible but not fully nailed down. Reports say Anthropic pulled the package and that mirrors were hit with DMCA takedowns, while a repo called claw-code by Sigrid Jin / instructkr does exist, presents itself as a Python clean-room rewrite, cites the Wall Street Journal’s note that Jin used 25 billion Claude Code tokens last year, and says a Rust port is in progress. The GitHub page currently shows about 51.7k stars and 56.6k forks, so the “49,000 stars and 56,000 forks” claim is now in the ballpark, though I did not find a primary source proving it was the fastest repo in GitHub history to hit 30,000 stars. That “history” claim is repeated by the repo’s own README and by Decrypt, but I would treat it as unverified marketing unless GitHub itself confirms it.
The weakest parts are the more cinematic details. I found support for 16 million views on Chaofan Shou’s thread from Decrypt, not 21 million. I also found reporting and summaries around “Undercover Mode” in the leaked code, but not a primary Anthropic statement confirming the broader dramatic framing around it. And “Anthropic leaked their entire source code” is overstated: the leak appears to involve Claude Code’s CLI/harness source, not Anthropic’s model weights or the company’s whole codebase. So the clean verdict is: real leak, real scramble, real mirrors, real rewrite project — but the viral post inflates several numbers and overstates the scope.

Neuralink patient #3 Brad (ALS) just got his REAL voice back, thanks to Neuralink + ElevenLabs cloning.His family can finally hear him again! Warm, familiar, full of life.
No more robotic sound. Just him.
This is the most beautiful side of AI.

AI ruling prompts warnings from US lawyers: Your chats could be used against you
April 15 (Reuters) - As people increasingly turn to artificial intelligence for advice, some U.S. lawyers are telling their clients not to treat AI chatbots like trusted confidants when their freedom or legal liability is on the line.These warnings became more urgent after a federal judge in New York ruled this year that the former CEO of a bankrupt financial services company could not shield his AI chats from prosecutors pursuing securities fraud charges against him.

Student behind AI influencer says 'dumb' MAGA crowd was easy to fool
A medical student who created an AI-generated conservative influencer has claimed the “dumb” MAGA crowd was easy to fool, according to a new report.A 22-year-old medical student from northern India, identified only as Sam, told Wired he was behind a series of pro-MAGA social media accounts featuring Emily Hart, an AI-generated woman. Sam said he started posting about Emily Hart to generate some extra cash while studying, and made thousands of dollars every month.

AI chatbots know more about you than you realise
From a few basic questions, an AI chatbot can learn more about you than those who have known you for years. The privacy implications are profound.

Just a little food for thought.
The concept of artificial intelligence, if not the precise phrase, first appeared in The Nation in 1958, in a review of the Hungarian-born mathematician and physicist John von Neumann’s The Computer and the Brain. Published a year after the author’s death, the book sketched out a then-novel analogy between the functioning of early computers and the human mind.

A Warning From the Past About the Dangers of AI

Nothing to see, can listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab. Posting as food for thought, nothing more.

Will AI make us all richer and more productive, or steal our jobs and impoverish us? The Industrial Revolution gives us clues about what could be about to happen.
Will AI destroy the economy?
