They can't. AI generated code cannot be copyrighted. They've stated that claude code is built with claude code. You can take this and start your own claude code project now if you like. There's zero copyright protection on this.
It's undetermined if code will be majority written by machines, especially as people start to realize how harmful these tools are without extreme diligence. Outages at Cloudflare, AWS, GitHub, etc are just the beginning. Companies aren't going to want to use tools that can potentially cause $100s of millions in potential damages (see Amazon store being down causing massive revenue loss).
I'm sure it's not _entirely_ built that way, and in practically speaking GitHub will almost certainly take it down rather than doing some kind of deep research about which code is which.
That's fine. File a false claim DMCA and that's felony perjury :) They know for a fact that there is no copyright on AI generated code, the courts have affirmed this repeatedly.
Try not to be overly confident about things where even the experts in the field (copyright lawyers) are uncertain of.
There's no major lawsuits about this yet, the general consensus is that even under current regulations it's in the grey. And even if you turn out to be right, and let's say 99% of this code is AI-generated, you're still breaking the law by using the other 1%, and good luck proving in court what parts of their code were human written and what weren't (especially when being sued by the company that literally has the LLM logs).
"I have a popular repo, but the content will likely be removed and I won't have personally gained from the saga: how can I fix the part where I didn't profit?"
"Eureka! I'll remove the content preemptively, then come up with a backstory that justifies reusing the now empty repo for building the umpteenth coding harness! And I can even claim fuzzy ties to Claude Code!"
Hence the new description:
> The fastest repo in history to surpass 50K stars , reaching the milestone in just 2 hours after publication. Better Harness Tools, not merely storing the archive of leaked Claude Code but also make real things done. Now rewriting in Rust.
> The result is a clean-room Python rewrite that captures the architectural patterns of Claude Code's agent harness without copying any proprietary source.
That project you quoted is the one with that as its new description. Soon it'll just be [new thing] that happens to use the stars as social proof... in fact when I look again:
> The fastest repo in history to surpass 100K stars . Better Harness Tools that make real things done. Built in Rust using oh-my-codex.
They started a new project that justifies the same repo and scrapes a little credibility off of Claude Code. The intent is not an actual rewrite but to bolster what will be their own personal project trying to compete with OpenCode and co.
The grifter is already pasting references to WSJ articles about themselves in the Readme
Am I the only one having feeling that with LLM-era we have now bigger amount of malicious software lets say parsers/fetchers of credentials/ssh/private keys?
And it is easier to produce them and then include in some 3rd party open-source software? Or it is just our attention gets focused on such things?
this! it is absolutely nuts having everything in div/span elements and then assigning data/class attributes so they could behave like form or any other interactable element..
OSS developers driven by something else than just money I believe. They are proud of their work of giving something to the community with their name on it. So such respect as giving free subscription to them I think matters, as they were mentioned and respected.
I think there's plenty of them. I know at least 3 guys eligible for such requirements (but this guys aren't some public persons giving tech-talks and so on, just some niche libs for others to use). If Claude would ask for 100k stars repos, then yeah. I guess there would be even less than 100
what a well written article. That's actually a problem. Time will come and hit the same way it has done to aqueduct, like lost technology that no one knows how they have worked in details. Maybe it is just how engineering evolution works?
this one has more stars and more popular
