Claude Code is not a LLM. It’s a regular application communicating with an LLM. It might be very vibe coded, seeing who it is written by, but it’s not an LLM that’s the problem here.
The bad application design here is allowing an unreliable LLM write access to your repo and to the internet.
And absolutely the LLM is the problem.
You know the LLM gets stuff wrong, yet you put it in charge. Sooner or later, it’s inevitably going to go very, very wrong.
People were wrong to trust it, people read all the stories of it going wrong, and I don’t understand why anybody still does trust LLMs.
It always was a decision to outsource your most valuable thinking to a subscription controlled by companies who were so obviously on the initial stages of an enshittification journey. Why else were they pushing it so very hard?!
“Yeah, sure, some of its towers fall down, but look how fast it builds them, and look at how heavily below cost the initial subscription is! Let’s replace all our institutional knowledge and experience with a random sentence generator that ate stackoverflow! Yay!”
I don’t understand why people vote for narcissistic, fraudulent, criminal, child-raping bullies, either. It was so clearly and obviously going to go wrong.
They don’t know how any of it works, and have no reason to ever learn now that they have a magic box, so of course they’re going to do whatever the magic box tells them as long as the magic box gives them what they want.

@davidagain Short answer: LLMs “push all our Darwinian buttons” (Sherry Turkel), the ones that make us social beings.
