I think that you do not need to feel uneasy at all. It is your computer and your memory space that the data is stored and operating in you can do whatever you like to the bits in that space. I would encourage you to continue that experiment.

Well, the thing is, I do not just use my computer, but connect to their computers and I do not like to get banned. I suppose simple UI things like expanding source files won't change a thing, but the more interesting things, editing the context etc. do have that risk, but no idea if they look for it or enforce it. Their side is, if I want to have full control, I need to use the API directly(way more expensive) and what I want to do is basically circumventing it.
It doesn't matter what defence you can think of, if they want to ban you, they'll ban you.

They won't even read your defence.

I know. All I could do in that case is a blogpost "Claude banned me, for following claude's instructions!" and hope it gets viral.
> I do not like to get banned

This is why I do such experiments on ChatGPT and not Claude.

I don't want to get banned by Claude but I couldn't care less if ChatGPT bans me.

You are not allowed to use the assistance of Claude to manufacture hacks and bombs on your computer
This is neither.
