The readme says it's 88,000 lines of "hand-written" C, and yet there's only 41 commits all from the last day, and they're all co-authored by Claude.

I have no problem with AI code, but it should not be advertised as hand-written.

I think Claude wrote that part, referring to itself having hand-written them. (It seems to like that phrase a lot.)
Machine generated lying.
“Machine-generated lying”, or “the machine generated those lies”.
I saw these referenced in the repo. Maybe the hand written parts are here?

No, as those are just forks of already existing projects and the forks don't contain any additional commits compared to upstream.
