So, the whole brouhaha was so that Anthropic can write this blog post?
Remember mythos ? I was half-expecting them to scare us with a new danger: How AI can covert code into other languages, and confuse the hell out of all of us.
This was suspected from the start. The PR was always going to be merged, and Anthropic was going to have their success story. Any lip service paid to "well maybe we'll merge it and maybe we won't, I dunno yet" was just that: lip service.
And it is good for mental health - it allows us to express the distaste for Anthropic in a healhy way.
