Problematic developer with AI crush realizes she's just dust under the wheels of progress

Justine, LOL indeed.
I thought this was gonna go in a completely different direction.
Setting: romantic sunset beach, without a crowd in sight. There is no sound but that of a gentle breeze, waves lapping at the shore, and seagulls in the distance. Ryan turns to his girlfriend Tiffany. He gets down on his knees, the sand muddying his pants. Tiffany clasps her hands over her mouth in disbelief. Ryan says: "Tiffany you are the light of my life. You have made me a better man. I can't see me living with anyone else but you. Will... will you marry m-- bzzt. Thank you for using Virtua-Boyfriend, unfortunately we ran out of VC money so are shutting down.".
~~Problematic~~ Nazi developer

In classic Rationalist fashion, she noticed something she didn't like, hypothesized a cause with no real evidence, and then proceeded to rant about the implications of that unproven hypothesis.
My suspicion, on the other hand, is that because Claude is just reproducing statistical patterns from its training data is simply reflecting the fact that she is referred to as a Nazi coder far more often than she is as some kind of open-source luminary. Unless her github metadata signs everything "Justine T the open-source developer" then that association isn't reflected in the patterns extrapolated from the training data.
only a month and a bit sooner and she could have answered my question herself lol
