Tier C · TL;DR
AI code leaks spread faster than any company can contain them

Claim

A leaked source code for Claude Code spread across the internet and was ported to Python and Rust within 24 hours. At this rate, there should be a COBOL port by tomorrow.

Mechanism

The viral nature of social media combined with the eagerness of developers to experiment with leaked AI code creates an unstoppable propagation loop. Once the leak hits a platform like X, the community forks and ports it faster than any legal takedown can work.
