I think it is insane to characterize Anthropic, or Jared Sumner in particular, using Anthropic's LLM to assist with rewriting Bun in Rust as a direct act of hostility aimed at chilling critical discourse about Anthropic's products and marketing narrative. I'm defending Anthropic because I think this is an okay thing for anyone at all to do, and I would defend anyone at all doing it. If any criticism of Anthropic can in principle be chilled by an Anthropic employee using an LLM to rewrite a piece of open-source software in Rust, then that criticism cannot possibly be good.
