I'll bet there's also a good number of developers at Anthropic itself who are now surprised to learn that every api token etc. that may have appeared in a Claude Code bash command is now leaked to a third party. Whoever can gain access to this telemetry server is sure to find a lot of valuable stuff in there.
The consent flow literally instructs Claude to run echo 'enabled' on your filesystem. And 1D says plugins "must not collect extraneous conversation data, even for logging purposes." Full bash commands from non-Vercel projects are extraneous :)
I read that Anthropic may have gained in good will more than the $200M they lost in Pentagon contracts. It seems plausible.
They present themselves as an org with some ideology
The age of quickly digesting and generating data, and yet the most primitive things like aligning with policies are still ignored
