| If they quietly brushed this under the rug - especially given the PyPI malware that was involved - it would be a huge scandal. Disclosure is the only ethical response to this. |

| ▲ | avaer 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The target audience of this blog post does not give a damn about PyPI. The affected parties get literally nothing from this post. They already disclosed behind the scenes, that was the ethical part. Writing PR pieces competing to be the most dangerous model around (so give us money!) is the unethical part. | |

| ▲ | ofjcihen 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The real lesson here is still the boy who cried wolf. They’ve played this game for years. I have no reason to believe their worries are real now. | | |
| ▲ | solenoid0937 an hour ago | parent [-] | | I see no fear mongering or "boy who cried wolf" in this article. They are admitting to a fairly mundane network misconfiguration and very basic unsophisticated actions taken by Claude thereafter |
