That, I believe, is precisely what the courts will be called upon to decide in all of these cases. The rest of this nonsense is just people bloviating about how they think it should be.

I took PseudoThink's reply as an explanation of why treating this as zero sum is a bad idea. You must have missed the first of the three lines in the reply because you seem to have only responded to one of them.

Correct. I think you've got the right take on this.

Thank you!

People who give any credence to the cat being both alive and dead at the same time have no idea what they're talking about. The cats life-status is rendered classical by decoherence long before anyone looks inside the box.

The EU pushed google to keep third party cookies. they claimed that eliminating them was squashing the competitors ability to compete with their privacy sandbox.

China doesn't only make cheap junk. They make intermediate goods. Stuff that 'Made in the USA' companies assemble and label as our own. They also make a lot of cheap junk, but that's actually their least important input/outputs.

This strategy may buy them something with Trump, but ultimately, it doesn't help much. Trump isn't litigating this case. And Trump isn't going to be around when the appeals all expire and whatever happens (a breakup, a gigantic fine, who knows) as a result takes effect. At best, that argument is a play to get the case dismissed on the whims of a naked emperor (no clothes, get it?) But it's a long shot.

"Spend" is used this way daily in the tech/corporate world. I've heard it used this way for decades. It's odd to me that someone is calling it out at this late hour. You do know that oxford adds words to the dictionary based on usage right? So if people use it, that MAKES it correct.

It can't be 'THAT' old because Oracle has only been offering Passkey authentication since August of 2023. So it has to be newer than that.

The fact that this app was unhinged is because they did not add a content control feature to it. It wasn't because it was 'vibe coded'

It doesn't so much matter if you use vibe coding or not in this case. you can either add content moderation or not, and it makes absolutely no difference whatever that vibe coding or hand coding were involved. The AI didn't decide not to include content moderation, the guy asking for the code did. So there, that's it. End of story. Next.

It says a lot when someone trying to buy a company doesn't write the letter to the company, but addresses it to a politician instead.

I don't care what you call it. Vibe coding, AI assisted typing, whatever you like. There are people who are good at getting the tools to work for them and those that aren't. The number of people in each camp will eventually sway to the efficacious as time passes. right now, engineers like myself who have been doing this forever have a distinct advantage because nobody has thought to tell the LLMs to take a lap and plan out their moves in detail to the level yet required to achieve this. But it will happen. and on that day everyone who was up in arms about using the wrong word for whatever this is will look even sillier than they do today.

If you can't successfully poll users on the street as to which service has what content on it, you have failed at branding your service AND your content.
