What could they possibly have 270GB of source code for? 3.6M files for what?? Wordle?

Any source on this. I don't have an X account and can't even read the comments on the tweet.

The linked hacker news thread has links to the original 4chan post

4chan thread has fox girls. I don't care about the rest.

...I'm half-joking. Serious now, I can't be arsed to download 270GB, but it's likely data, not just code. If that's correct it's probably way messier, as it likely includes sensitive info.
