By the way, if you go to https://github.com/claude and "block this user", every Github repo you visit containing code credited to Claude will actually have a warning sigil

@bmartin427 github is basically now a website-sized dark pattern to opt you into copilot without your knowledge

@mcc @bmartin427
Can one block Copilot in the same manner? -

Can one block Copilot in the same manner?@bloognoo @bmartin427 No, I'm not sure if it leaves the co-authored-by tags or not but significantly GitHub special case made the "copilot" account unblockable

@JamesWidman @mcc @nick yea its only a matter of rebasing the fork with upstream

@porglezomp @lanodan @nick a nice thing about the block warning is assuming microsoft did not code it in an absurd way, the block warning surely applies only to commits in the past of the current branch.
this would be improved if github had not exempted the copilot bot from blocks. they did exempt it from blocks, and if you look in the github feedback forum there's a feature request from me for the day they did it asking them to not-exempt it. oh well…
@mcc @porglezomp @lanodan @nick The block warning predates Microsoft, at least their active control if not their ownership of GitHub entirely. AIUI it's thanks to @CoralineAda.

@nick @mcc thankfully the swift project's fork of LLVM is clean for now:
(or at least, it hasn't been touched by claude yet)
https://github.com/swiftlang/llvm-project@JamesWidman @nick @mcc there's been a bunch of AI code stuff internally at apple, so I wouldn't expect swift (or anything else apple) to remain unaffected for too long.

@mcc Thanks for the tip
Got one hit right away, in a repo for the most useful Android-keyboard app in my language. Which is quite scary, knowing that many keyboard apps are collecting telemetry (under the pretext of spellchecking) and compromised. And since trust is of essence, guess I'm looking for a new keyboard app... 🥴

@reillypascal @mcc I did a bit of digging and found one commit where Claude was marked as Co-Author. That was a commit backporting a fix from, *drum roll*, vim.

@scadu bummer it's in Vim, but good to know it's not widespread.
