No thanks, I'll use a generic model along with trusted sources.

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 $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.

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

That isn't irony. Paying $200 for a service voluntarily is different than being forced to pay $100 because they made a rule that says you have to pay them $100.
