Because you're trying to use it yourself. Don't do that, tell Claude to write a script that does what you want.

I'm only being half-flippant here.

Would you trust your private files to a Claude-generated Dropbox/syncthing clone?

Sure, if GPT5 says "LGTM." Again, only half-kidding. Access to the source covers a multitude of sins, both real and potential. Control of the source covers the rest.

Right now I sort of trust Dropbox, but considering how much enshittification it has already undergone relative to its original mission statement, the company could do any number of things to lose that trust in a hurry. Someday they will, probably, and I won't be able to do anything about it except complain...

... except that's no longer true. Which is awesome.

Guess how 90% of the code today is done in F500? Offshored to the lowest bidders in India/elsewhere. I trust more what claude is spouting than any code from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech_(India)
