One more step closer to a closed source system. I think their objective is to move all your code on their systems so you can only modify the code through their AI so they have a moat and will be difficult to move away. They will “guard” your source code and you’ll never see it.

Imagine if tomorrow they make a 10x smarter AI, but they say: you can only use if you upload your source code to us and you can’t see anymore the source code.

So you either stay on lower end models or you give up and use a 10x model.

I only see one issue: will be very difficult for them to “guard” the source code and don’t let you access.

Yeah, the only thing keeping them from doing that is that the open weight free models are just as good.

I wonder if they would take away your ability to prompt, maybe only letting you run agentically.

Seems like it could be problematic in the future since code can't be fixed by humans so the only source of future code for training is unedited Claudeslop.
