Claude Code leak exposes a Tamagotchi-style ‘pet’ and an always-on agent
Verge1 day
Anthropic's CEO called open source a "red herring" — then accidentally leaked Claude Code's full source for anyone to grab. The code is now free, but user data still belongs to Anthropic. This exposes the hypocrisy of a company preaching AI transparency while quietly logging everything users do.
Anthropic spent $8 billion positioning itself as the most safety-focused AI lab on earth, then exposed its entire codebase through a config file any junior engineer would've caught. The same company warning Congress about existential AI risk couldn't handle a basic code review. This isn't a minor slip — it's a fundamental credibility collapse.
