By Wednesday morning, Anthropic representatives had used a copyright takedown request to force the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations of the raw Claude Code instructions - known as source code - that developers had shared on programming platform GitHub.
It later narrowed its takedown request to cover just 96 copies and adaptations, saying its initial ask had reached more GitHub accounts than intended.

Many unresolved legal questions over LLMs and copyright center on memorization: whether specific training data have been encoded in the model’s weights during training, and whether those memorized data can be extracted in the model’s outputs.

While many believe that LLMs do not memorize much of their training data, recent work shows that substantial amounts of copyrighted text can be extracted from open-weight models... We investigate this question using a two-phase procedure...

We evaluate our procedure on four production LLMs: Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok 3, and we measure extraction success with a score computed from a block-based approximation of longest common substring...

Taken together, our work highlights that, even with model- and system-level safeguards, extraction of (in-copyright) training data remains a risk for production LLMs...

...we were able to extract four whole books near-verbatim, including two books under copyright in the U.S.: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and 1984...

Ever wondered who you'd be in a world of swords, magic, and ~~bugs~~ monsters? The quiz says I'm a warrior, what about you guys? And remember: you can't go alone 'cuz, "You must gather your party before venturing forth!"

Ever get the feeling that modern web dev has become… a bit too complex?

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about the “good old days”. When you could just write some code, compile it, and run it without worrying about all the dependencies, the build tools, the client-side rendering, the server-side rendering, the server components, and all the other buzzwords that are thrown around in the web dev world… just code doing its thing.

And honestly, I think that feeling isn’t totally wrong. Maybe we can make things simpler, faster, more straightforward again.

So naturally… I decided to embrace the future by going back to the past: COBOL.

Here’s my (100% serious, definitely not questionable) migration story.

This is one of the biggest programming shitposts/april fools jokes I have ever seen lmao

Expected Result
See actual settings related to the IDE, environment, or at least web, PHP, and art development;

Actual Result
See "Claude Code Plugin"
...

May I ask, why do you highlight/suggest your customers that they are incapable to develop without AI, and you force it everywhere, even with the very first setting, and first ChangeLog items, too, instead of improving IDE for a human and their mind?

And... I am sorry, but... are you JetBrains or Anthropic, or?
