> Claude Code has realtime no-intervention autoupdate enabled by default. Everyone running it has willfully opted in to giving Anthropic releng (and anyone who can coerce/compel them) full RCE on their machine.

Isn't that the same for Chrome, VSCode, and any upstream-managed (as opposed to distro/os managed) package channel with auto updates?

It's a bad default, but pretty much standard practice, and done in the name of security.
