That's disturbing, but hardly surprising.

AI is a surveillance technology.

Every other function is bait.

One of the more curious details to emerge from the publication of Claude Code's source is that Anthropic tries to hide AI authorship from contributions to public code repositories – possibly a response to the open source projects that have disallowed AI code contributions. Prompt instructions in a file called undercover.ts state, "You are operating UNDERCOVER in a PUBLIC/OPEN-SOURCE repository. Your commit messages, PR titles, and PR bodies MUST NOT contain ANY Anthropic-internal information. Do not blow your cover."

People don't like AI contributions so they hide it, cool
