> How does anthropic know my "kernel" project isn't a personal toy and not the Linux kernel? The Linux Kernel is in its training data. I just tested it. I copied about 20 random lines from the linux kernel and asked which codebase this was from and it could immediately tell. | ||

The Linux kernel is also in the free bsd project. I'm allowed to copy as little or as much of the kernel as I like into my personal project thanks to the GPL. Being able to attribute the source of a line of code doesn't help you to know if a repository can be legitimately hacked on. As you could imagine, I might just take all or part of the Linux USB stack from the kernel to retrofit it into my own kernel. | ||
