    What if you get Claude to implement a brand new codebase, using the leaked code as inspiration and then fix any slop issues?

      This has already been done.

      https://github.com/Kuberwastaken/claurst

      They got one AI agent to read the code and output documentation (a specification) that contained no actual code.

      Then they fed that to a second AI agent and asked it to implement that specification in Rust. Technically, this is a cleanroom implementation.

      This is interesting from a legal perspective because it leverages the same legal loophole that Anthropic rely on for their own operations. They can’t take down this repo without creating a precedent that will be used against them.

      Depending on how you’re taking “inspiration” I’m fairly certain you can get sued if Anthropic feels like it.

      Clean room development is there for a reason (although can you use AI in such an effort?)

        All slop code is stolen anyway, also I am not writing it, I just asked their own AI to have a look at that codebase and implement a brand new app that does exactly what their app does. I am not writing the code, nor did I ever instruct the slop machine to duplicate or steal the code. I would word the prompt in such a way that the whole responsibility of any code copied would be the AI’s fault. Would Anthropic sue themselves for their own AI spitting out copyrighted code? Apparently you don’t have to be an engineer anymore to develop apps either, so I don’t need to review the slop code either, it’s a black box and as long as it does exactly what their app does, I am not responsible, I didn’t write it.

      The original code is reportedly 100% slop. Slop cannot be copyrighted in the US, and probably any other half-sane country. So double slop is ofc also not licensed.
