Does anyone find it weird that Anthropic's Github org is `anthropics` (with an 's') and the `anthropic` username is owned by some random dude in Australia? Imagine the shenanigans someone can achieve with that user.
- dawie 5mo agoIt made me double check if it was a fake repo.
- dsr_ 5mo agoOne would think that they could spontaneously offer him a hundred million dollars for it and solve the problem. I half-suspect they threatened him and he stuck to his guns.
- nerdsniper 5mo agoIt's possible they wanted to offer that person convincing amounts of money and couldn't get ahold of them.

- cube00 5mo ago>Imagine the shenanigans someone can achieve with that user. First step out of line and that account along with anything remotely connected will be banned to oblivion. Given they share models on Azure, Anthropic will have someone at Microsoft on speed dial. I've even seen disconnected commit hashes disappear during their security responses which the repo owner has no way of removing.
