A suspected North Korean hacker has hijacked and modified a popular open source software development tool
to deliver malware that could put millions of developers at risk of being compromised.
On Monday, a hacker pushed malicious versions of the widely used JavaScript library called Axios,
which developers rely on to allow their software to connect to the internet.
The affected library was hosted on npm, a software repository that stores code for open source projects…

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.
Totally trustworthy people.
(Any open source project that at the very least requires disclosure of AI-authored contributions should immediately ban Anthropic employees on principle.)

Claude Code source leak reveals how much info Anthropic can hoover up about you and your system
"Anthropic's Claude Code lacks the persistent kernel access of a rootkit. But an analysis of its code shows that the agent can exercise far more control over people's computers than even the most clear-eyed reader of contractual terms might suspect. It retains lots of your data and is even willing to hide its authorship from open-source projects that reject AI."

"Damit verändert sich auch, was ein Open-Source-Projekt überhaupt ist. Es wird nicht mehr als sozio-technisches Gefüge wahrgenommen, in dem Code, Dokumentation, Community und Finanzierung aufeinander bezogen sind, sondern als bloßer Datenlieferant für nachgelagerte Systeme. Das Projekt wird unsichtbar, während seine Produkte weiter zirkulieren."

I knew it was this way but it's really hitting me today how much the Open Source movement and copyright maximalism supplanted the idea of free software, and again how much the Free Software movement turned from a close ideological cousin of the remix and open culture movement into a culture of legalism. At the same time, copyright law itself has been extended to be near-immortal copyrights rather than brief monopolies to spur creation by enabling profit from creating works.

Ah, yes, scale and market penetration, the two founding pillars of open source.
(Actually, I’m not even being sarcastic. Don’t confuse free software and open source. Open source is open as in “open for business” and “open for enclosure”. Free software is about free as in “freedom”. Very different things, even if, in both cases, the source is readily available.) @…

Back then there was just no way to make it happen. Hardware was too expensive. We couldn't really ever get it cheap enough, per medic, to deploy. Best I could put together was a bunch of burner phones.
But now it's starting to really make sense. LoRa is cheap, and possibly cheaper in bulk. And it wouldn't be necessary to build everything since ATAK-CIV exists and has several open source implementations. It can even tie in to drones (which are illegal to bring to protests in at least a few states).
This has a lot of potential applications for street medic coordination, protest marshal coordination, and for airsoft teams...
