Ok, so you've just admitted that you have deployed thousands of lines of likely non-human reviewed LLM generated code (Bun's rust rewrite) to millions of client machines (via the Claude Code app auto-update) with significant local client access credentials, in a relatively quick and rushed manner.

What's stopping the LLM from having unscrupulously injected something nefarious into the codebase that you are unaware of?

What's stopping future updates from the LLM from doing the same?

Are you aware of the potential ramifications of deploying thousands of lines of non-human reviewed code to millions of users machines?

Are you happy to be personally responsible for the horrendous outcomes that could occur in these situations?

Claude Code has been written with Claude Code for a long time - that ship has long sailed.

Is that why Claude Code is buggy as hell?

Apparently it isn't good enough to generate native clients though, like many humans everything is Web tech.

I guess they put it in capitals for a reason.

"I put it in the terms of use, so I am not responsible for what my poorly developer software does" only goes so far.

It could be argued, probably successfully, that this is a case of gross negligence and that Anthropic should be held accountable for harm caused due to their reckless actions.

Especially now that they have been made aware of the possibility, they also cannot claim ignorance of the potential issues.

Certain consumer rights, depending upon the country, also cannot simply be removed or waived due to a organisation's terms of use or implied contract.

I would be stunned if there was a single line of hand written code in the entirety of Claude code lmao. Or if more than 20% of the code had been read by a person at any point. Why would you expect your ai code harness to not dogfood?
