Anthropic's accidental code leak exposes AI security's fatal blind spots

A hypothetical but plausible scenario where Anthropic leaks Claude's source code to npm highlights a concrete gap in AI company infrastructure: version control systems, deployment pipelines, and access controls are not architected for the stakes of shipping production AI systems. AI companies are still borrowing tooling and practices from software engineering without adapting them for models that represent millions in R&D, competitive moat, and potential attack surface. The first major source code breach may come not from sophisticated adversaries but from routine operational mistakes that would be recoverable in traditional software.
