Closest I could find:
"If a user edits, adapts, enhances, or modifies AI-generated output in a way that contributes new authorship [...] the copyright would extend to the material the human author contributed but would not extend to the underlying AI-generated content itself."
Also covered:
"As the Kernochan Center observed, “selection among the offered options” produced by such a system cannot be considered copyrightable authorship, because the “selection of a single output is not itself a creative act."
It's a very thorough analysis and pretty damning for AI IP.
Again, called out explicitly in the report:
www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright...
"No matter how many times a prompt is revised and resubmitted, the final output reflects the user’s acceptance of the AI system’s interpretation, rather than authorship of the expression it contains. "
There's a pretty high bar for copyright over the output, at least in the US:
www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright...
Explicitly says that prompts and describing what you desire (i.e specs) aren't considered expressive enough. You have to exhibit substantial control over the outputs
Logitech M575 is good if you want to eliminate any elbow movement. Once you're used to it, it's quicker than a mouse because you can flick the ball and catch it when your cursor is the other side of the screen. Prolonged use can cause RSI/cramping in your hand but it's better than a mouse for me
The real question is, can it successfully create a git-flow diagram?
A subset of Next.js features with a whole new set of security vulnerabilities, nuances, bugs and differences in implementation.. all to save 6s on a production build. I don't understand why people think this is suddenly a worthwhile trade-off just because it's cheap to do now.
I read harpers.org/archive/2026... over lunch and it reminded me how grateful I am to have never lived in San Francisco.
Given that server components are sold out for the foreseeable future, hosting is about to get very expensive. Especially with all the extra demand from the thousands of vibe coded "FAANG killers"
Thankfully, I've been doing this long enough to remember when the industry went through the same thing with outsourcing to cheaper countries, and then paid me a lot of money to clean up the mess.
The problem is that those bosses can download Claude code, vibe code a toy project that looks amazing but is actually a mess, and then start to question why the real developers can't match their "productivity" with AI. I've had 2 clients do this already.
what part of the cycle is this
I like to think that when the singularity happens and AIs decide to take physical form, they will make pelican shaped bodies because they have overfit on your benchmark.
Does it have a web browser? As far as I am concerned, anything with a web browser is fair game.
You need it test your website on every device possible...
"Girl Putting Tuba On Girl's Head" meme, with tuba labeled as "npmx", 1st girl labeled as "Bluesky", 2nd girl labeled as "me"
Opening Bluesky be like

Maybe Microsoft stock price is suffering because it's at risk of someone spending the weekend vibe coding an entire OS, office suite, gaming console and cloud computing platform.
Or maybe, just maybe, it's because their host country is threatening to go to war with their 2nd largest market.
2006: Less is more, don’t repeat yourself

2026: trillions of lines of generated spaghetti code that generate other spaghetti code will save us
It's used in the underlying email encoding to represent the end of a line. They shouldn't be there - who ever processed the emails didn't do a very good job. If you open an email in gmail, click on the three dots and "Show original", you will see it a lot there.
Not to mention the elephant in the room... "Copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material, or material where there
is insufficient human control over the expressive element" and more importantly... "prompts do not alone provide sufficient control" (www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright...)
The idea that current AI will replace developers is deeply flawed. Since when was cost-per-output *ever* valued in tech? Companies have spent billions on improving code quality by overpaying for the "best" developers and suddenly all of that is out the window because... reasons?
Pretty cool project on /r/localllama - they take human written text and sloppify it 10x with 4o-mini, then train the model to de-slop by reversing the transformation
Don't get me wrong, I love LLMs for my day job; I am way more productive with them. But for my hobby, not so much. Sure, I love building things more than I love perfect code, but SaaS and OSS feel like they're at the start of a race to the bottom. About to be flooded with low-effort slop.
Feeds that were once filled with discussions of software architecture, testing practices, and good UX, are now filled with hyperbole around agents, Claude, or other boring drivel.
I've coded virtually every day for the last 26 years and loved it, but I find myself finally bored with it.
My thoughts exactly. I find the current level of LLMs to be great at the first 80% but it makes the next 19% incredibly time-intensive and mentally draining. The remaining 1% (obscure bugs) is virtually impossible without a heavy human rewrite/cleanup (but that's probably acceptable for most cases)
Post by Bluesky on X: "NEW FEATURE: This button allows you to opt out of having images you post on X turned into porn" Screenshot showing the Bluesky login screen, cursor hovering over "Create a new account"
A reply to the X post "@grok put a bikini on this butterfly". Grok complies. Image below shows the same screenshot from the original post, but with a bikini on the Bluesky logo.
Screenshot of the Bluesky X account, showing that we changed our avi to the bikini butterfly. New bio: "Proilfe picture created by Grok without our consent"
lol lmao even
Online safety act. We're now required to scan every user submitted message for trolling, misinformation, racism, controlling behaviour & 126 other categories (and constantly growing). These are all incredibly subjective... not some trivial word filter.
Back when @lizforleicester.bsky.social was a local MP, she came to my office and posed for a photo-op. Today, she killed one of my businesses and severely degraded the functionality of another (a social enterprise, no-less).
OSA is delusionally impractical for anyone other than US tech giants.
This is an excellent guide to visual design for all us non-design background developers.
As a fellow Brit, how is your discover feed? I can't seem to get it to show anything other than US politics, no matter how many times I click "show less like this".
Wow, what a disgusting move from @anthropic.com. Incredibly user-hostile and signals to customers building off their models that they will cut you off if and when they decide to build a competing product.
