Its not sketchy just lazy. One observation i have made eith anthropic is that they are great at amking a model but louzy at app development. There apps tend to have that “scientist learned python to help them at work” vibe. Which is always a security nightmare.
This blog is on the malwarebytes website. Mslwarebytes says in thr post thst its not fair to call this spyware. This was brought up kn the windows side as well.
What is realky going on: claude desktop is installing the hooks for the claude browser extension. If you install the browser extension, claude desktop can control the browser. This is the intended behavior do you can have an agent do something like “in the morning, access these three sites, pull down the data and create a newsletter for me” or “please check flight costs throughput the day on these sites” or whatever you want to access the browser for.
This is the ehole reason you install claude desktop, to automate your computer.

This is the current web with its social media like life. Say something, be outraged.
But let’s be honest. We really have no idea what to the true story is. There are so many ways to spin a story. Probably both sides fucked up.
The one thing we know is fucked up, is that anthropic is acting like a startup. If they want to work with businesses they need a dedicated support team.
I dont know if its because its bern a long day and i am exhauseted but i am tired of being outraged.
What are you saying? I have a samsung and nothing is backed up to google drive. In fact i just checked after reading the article. Is there another place they backup or are you talking about the backup?
Yeah, i was making a point. I think not reading the article is an analogous to society as a whole taking everything at face value and don’t think for themselves.
I have this fantasy where the person decides to read it to see why i called him a sam altman lover but i know i am just a pollyanna
You love sam altman that much that you have an emotional response to gizmodo giving very valid criticism of him? I’m sorry gizmodo is right and altman is a tool. Please dont worship a man.
Running fedora is such a delight. I can wait till they have it fixed. Much better than *its release day, lets see what happens"
I am not saying you should use it, i was addressing app quality. The original commenter wasn’t talking about business practices but app quality. Which is why isaid “privacy aside”. Privavcy is very important and i would never have someone use chrome or edge but that wasnt the topic.
The us internet situation sucks but the author has a complete misunderstanding why. I dont k ow if they are very young or no from the united states but there is big misunderstanding of whats wrong. Its all bad but you need to go back to wwii. You need to talk about the nsa. You need to talk about 9/11.
Also we have fiber, its not shared and they rip up all the roads they want. They are a local company, locally owned.
But if we are being honest, if you don’t care about privacy, it is a good browser. Its better than chrome. You can check the performance of of both on the same machine. It also has better pdf rendering.
What you are referencing is a project using other projects. You very much can take a function use it. Its when what you take starts to resemble the whole that it becomes a problem. But if you see a project and say “hey i like how they store files in this collection.”, you can use that. Now if you are making a kernel and rip out code tlthat resembles a kernel then no.
You hit the framing issue right on the head. People keep using code and project interchangeably. Code has never been able to be copyrighted. You cant copyright a for loop. I cant create a car class that has properties like make, model, year and copywrite it. Thats never been a thing. Thats why projects are copyrighted. An entire piece of work.
Now your Ship of Theseus has a debateable point. If every single line of code is ai written, does it become an ai project. I woild argue not because of himan involvement to get it there. I also dont see it happening. Not every line of code is replaced. But if it was, that would be a court challenge.

For the bill in california, the money was tracked backed to meta. This is all about tracking you more.
Never vote for a bill that uses words like “child safety”. They put this in bills they know wont pass with out it.
This was the tactic used in theamaxon superbiwl comer ial where they were partnering with flock to take control of your cameras and spy on you. The comercial was about a lost dog. Lickily, people didnt fall for that.
i think a lot of their stuff is ai coded.
