If that is the case, it's a very different claim than that AI is plagiarizing Tailwind (which was somewhat of a reach, given the permissiveness of the project's MIT license). Achieving such mass adoption would typically be conside

I see what you're getting at, but CSS is as much an open standard as the law. Public legal docs written against legal standards aren't fundamentally dissimilar to open source libraries written against technical standards. While I

I'm not going to dogpile criticism on Tailwind or Adam, whose behavior seems quite admirable, but I fundamentally agree with the thrust of the parent comment. It's unfortunate for Tailwind and anyone who was invested in the projec

Thanks for sharing, that is really bad. I did say "mostly", though. A bizarre anomaly that will most likely get thrown out in court is still pretty different from comparable practices in e.g. the UK that are standard procedure. Th

Anyone who spends any amount of time perusing discussions on social media will quickly observe what a rare gift strong reading comprehension turns out to be.

I think there's an important material difference between the two. China's single party is authoritarian and uncontested. America's two major parties are mildly authoritarian on different axes, but average out to a mostly libe

I'm not sure why you're randomly insinuating otherwise, but I've only received positive feedback on the quality of my work.

They're just different use cases. There's a difference between a learning exercise and a contractual engagement to deliver a product to a client.

In summary, the Luddites had a point. It doesn't mean they were ultimately correct, just that their concerns were valid. Regardless of anyone's thoughts on genAI in particular, it's important for us as a society to consider w

There's no "tricking" involved, and no basis for your assumption that LLMs lower the quality of work. I would suggest that what you and the author are observing is actually the opposite effect: LLMs broadly help improve the

We were talking about writing, not about vibe coding. No one said anything about vibe coding. Using tools appropriately to accomplish tasks more quickly is just common sense. Deliberately choosing to pay 10x the cost for the same or equiv

Understanding or being interesting has nothing to do with it. We use calculators and computers for a reason. No one hires people to respond to API requests by hand; we run the code on servers. Using the right tool for the job is just doing

You're making a weirdly uncharitable assumption. I'm referring to information which I largely or entirely wrote myself, or which I otherwise have proprietary access to, not which I randomly cherry-picked from scattershot Google re

To be clear, I'm not a student, nor do I disagree with academic honor codes that forbid LLM assistance. For anything that I apply AI assistance to, the extent to which I could personally "claim credit" is essentially immateri

I think the author has a fair take on the types of LLM output he has experience with, but may be overgeneralizing his conclusion. As shown by his example, he seems to be narrowly focusing on the use case of giving the AI some small snippet

I've found that AI is incredibly valuable as a general thinking assistant for those tasks as well. You still need enough expertise to know when to reach for it, what to prompt it with, and how to validate the utility and correctness of

I would argue that it isn't only possible, but on track to arrive sooner than most people realize: * AI models are steadily continuing to improve in capabilities and efficiency * Massive investments are being made in scaling up AI infr

That was my exact reaction. I'm not sure how much I like Nvidia acquiring Arm, but on some level as an American my instinct is to encourage it. If it is the FTC's actual position that the deal would harm consumers or the industry
