No, you underestimate how huge the malware problem right now. People try publish fake download landing pages for shell scripts or even Claude code on https://playcode.io every day. They pay for google ads $$$ to be one the top 1 position. How Google ads allow this? They can’t verify every shell script.

No I am not joking. Every time you install something, there is a risk you clicked a wrong page with the absolute same design.

He's not talking about malware awareness. He's talking about a bug i've seen too which requires Claude justifying for *every* tool call to add extra malware-awareness turns. Like every file read of the repo we've been working on

Also increasing numbers of attacks against Anna's Archive with fake cloned front end web GUIs leading to malware scripts.
