I get a lot of obviously wrong or slightly wrong answers from all LLMs across the board. If you don't double-check you just don't know or you might miss it.
And for the bleeding edge part: My godchild wanted to know the name of a Pokémon from his licensed shirt. One of the first ones, found in every training set. Couldn't get it right, was certain it was the wrong one.

Except they do. The NSA has been handing over intel over a decade ago:
> A former federal agent in the northeastern United States who received such tips from SOD described the process. “You’d be told only, ‘Be at a certain truck stop at a certain time and look for a certain vehicle.’ And so we’d alert the state police to find an excuse to stop that vehicle, and then have a drug dog search it,” the agent said. [1]
Sure these were criminals, but who knows how many “undesirables” were prosecuted or targeted for some crime anybody commits?

I will always be baffled by the dichotomy of "the US has the most freedom" and "no democratic country spies more on its citizens".

How many sites actually need reactivity? For most sites you can either use a bit of vanilla javascript or htmx.

Just because people think something and it becomes popular doesn't make it in their best interest.

I can imagine this being really helpful for beginners and kids. It's hard to grok what windows and tabs are etc. without any context.

I don't think we disagree that much. But the repo in question had basically no human input, at least no substantial one. It will be interesting where the courts will decide the boundary lies though.

This project has zero chance of being eligible for copyright:
> Nearly all of the code, the design docs, and this README were written by Claude
The only way courts will deem LLM output to be copyrightable is if there is substantial human input. Just orchestrating agents won't be enough.

No, LLM output isn't copyrightable.

However, Obsidian isn't a saas, it can't just disappear. As long as you have the installer you are fine.

They are liable. In Germany the seller of a product is responsible not the producer.
