lol that's funny, I have been working seriously [1] on a feature like this after first writing about it jokingly [2] earlier this year. The joke was the assistant is a cat who is constantly sabotaging you, and you have to take care of it like a gacha pet. The seriousness though is that actually, disembodied intelligences are weird, so giving them a face and a body and emotions is a natural thing, and we already see that with various AI mascots and characters coming into existence. [1]: serious: https://github.com/mech-lang/mech/releases/tag/v0.3.1-beta [2]: joke: https://github.com/cmontella/purrtran
In Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
