> Also: "Apple could not verify “Survival LLM” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy." This is obviously some vibe coded trash from an inexperienced dev.

This is a great example of how Apple's "scare warnings" completely work to mislead folks about what they are actually warning you about.

Code signing and sandboxing exists for a very good reasons (security and privacy) and it's easy enough to ship a sandboxed app.

Not paying the $100 annual extortion fee doesn't make you inexperienced.

The irony is thick. The dev is paying Anthropic $200 a month, but $100 a year for code-signing is extortion.

The $100 merely serves as a gatekeeper to prevent people and non-devs to create unlimited developer accounts. It used to be $500 a decade or two ago, and it was worth it even back then, until Apple realized they should probably just give it away almost for free.

You can always not comment.
