Tell me it ain't so, all this hoop-de-doo about how AI gonna take yer jerbs.

Worry not and take ol' TM's evergreen advice: the machines will always handle the rules and the humans will handle the exceptions.

Bailey can be the judge of me anytime.

@jamie

Stop whining. You and about seventy zillion terrified sheep running around here bleating about the Terrible AI monster under the bed.

@jamie

.... how can you distinguish between 'em?

@oay @jamie

You do write spec first, yes?

@jamie

Shrug. Here's a tip - when you put up a para like this one: "It'll be interesting to see what happens when a company pisses off an employee to the point where that person creates a public repo containing all the company's AI-generated code. I guarantee what's AI-generated and what's human-written isn't called out anywhere in the code, meaning the entire codebase becomes public domain."

- I can make the observation you're being a Chicken Little. You guaranteed it.

@jamie

I can assure you, Jamie, whatever talents you may possess, possession of a Juris Doctor is not one of them. So do us all a favor and quit handing out what I believe to be so much Chicken Little-ing.

@jamie

Holy shit, dude, get a subscription to Claude and be thereby instructed. If you're a competent programmer, you will be asking the LLM for spec. If you're a dumbass, you'll be asking for implementation.

@jamie

You're attempting to say " If you fail to disclose/disclaim exactly which parts were not written by a human, you forfeit your copyright claim on *the entire codebase*

I'll be gracious and say that's not what the law says, and if you want, I can be a jackass about this because it's not true and the last thing this place needs is yet another Chicken Little making absurd claims.

@jamie

The post takes real legal uncertainty and cranks it up to maximum alarm. The actual state of things is more nuanced and still evolving — courts are working through these questions case by case, and the Copyright Office indicated that a future may arise in which prompts could "sufficiently control expressive elements in AI-generated outputs to reflect human authorship."

So it's worth being thoughtful about this stuff, but "your vibe-coded repo is public domain" is not an accurate summary of the law.

What I want to build is a little mic-to-spectrum display and some fun stuff for recording and a hitch to an okay thermal camera,

My wife thinks I should write a Sasquatch Tracker app.

After reading NYTimes for most of my adult life, I unsubscribed. I believe more people should stop reading NYTimes, it's a parody of its former self

@taylorlorenz

It's organized at its root level around what I want to see. That's the part nobody seems to get.

I used to say I wanted to marry a deaf mute who owned a liquor store.
