I have youtube premium to avoid youtube ads and now I use YouTube Music myself and it's great. Saves me money and I love it

I rage quit Spotify a few years ago because they kept breaking how the app worked with frustrating regularity. This was around when they changed the hue of the spotify icon to a slightly different one.

YTM is arguably a worse product, but also a consistent one with zero UX churn, which I'll take any day of the week.

Youtube Premium is also very nice if you spend any time ever watching youtube videos.


Isn't it a mostly Boeing project that is going to go around the moon next month? I'm really afraid for that crew.

Why would you be afraid for them when the Orion capsule worked so flawlessly...oh right.

Are you talking about Starliner? Starliner's 2 flights have been problematic to say the least, but Orion's single (uncrewed) flight went pretty well.

And Lockheed and Airbus are the prime contractors on Orion, not Boeing.

Yeah, totally borked that one up. Apologies to the Orion team for erroneously tagging them with Boeing's baggage.

I think most of these AI's have this problem though. Not sure why xAI is getting picked on in particular.

First, Twitter has grok integrated directly. Rather than somebody separately creating one of these abuse images and then posting it, they simply comment on somebody's tweet and Twitter does the rest.

Second, Musk himself advocated for looser restrictions on this sort of abusive image generation. Rather than starting from a position of trying to minimize this abuse Musk started from a position of opposing efforts to minimize this abuse.

Third, Musk has joked about the pain and suffering experienced by the people getting harassed on Twitter with this content. I have vastly more patience for somebody who seems to actively care about addressing the problem than somebody who seems to enjoy it when women are abused en masse on his platform.


xAI is getting picked because their company is encouraging and enabling sexual abuse and child porn generation on a massive scale. When called out on it they turned it into a commercial feature, and whined how they are being prosecuted for free speech. Now they are trying to politicize it [1]. Garbage behavior.

"We have the problem" and "it's not a problem" aren't the same thing.

> Publicly, Musk has long advocated against “woke” AI models and against what he calls censorship. Internally at xAI, Musk has pushed back against guardrails for Grok, one source with knowledge of the situation at xAI told CNN. Meanwhile, his xAI’s safety team, already small compared to its competitors, lost several staffers in the weeks leading up to the explosion of “digital undressing.”


They integrated into twitter where it was used predictably… and then blamed the users.

All of them are used. And most of the time it’s the users fault. Yes it should prevent it but all of them have this issue. The other AIs are used far more often

I don't know what you mean by "all of them are used" in response to my comment. It's not clear if you understood my comment or not.

They are all used. If by predictably you mean that people would do what they’ve done, they’ve done it on every platform so what difference does it make if it’s integrated with Twitter?

This seems completely believable to me. They have tons of research scientists and chemists who do this for a living, and had access to the best equipment (even back in the day).

It probably didn’t take them terribly long to do it


You have already done that when you sign up for an anthropic account


Ironic that you are posting a site that does exactly what Tailwind is complaining about lol

I don't think I'm worried about defunding a trillionaire.

First they came for the trillionaires, and I did not speak out, because good.

Well by the time they eat the trillionaire I'll be dead. So be it. I don't think some site hosting microblogs is gonna be the downfall of such wealth, though.

We just have to post more. That's all.

One can hope!

I wouldn’t use xcancel if Twitter was usable for guests


When you say plagiarizes, do you mean they are publishing their own docs without ads? Or you mean when the AI is reading the docs instead of a person they ignore the ads?

People don't just ask AI to produce a Tailwind app, they also ask AI specific questions that are answered in the docs. When the AI regurgitates the answers from the docs they don't visit the actual docs. Like the Google answer box in search results stealing clicks from the pages that produce the content.

This would also be true if someone wrote a book about Tailwind. Are they “stealing” clicks the too?

The answer is "it depends". If someone printed out the documentation and bound it together to sell without permission? Yes. The mere act of converting from one medium to another usually isn't transformative.

The test for writing a book is whether the author applied their own judgement in the creation of the book. Even if some explanations of concepts are inevitably similar the structure of the book, the example code, etc. will reflect the author's judgement and experience.

An LLM is incapable of authorial intent. It's not synthesizing the docs with a career of experience and the input of an editor. It's playing madlibs with the work of one or more prior authors.


I think its the latter.

Totally agree with this, and I think it's what will likely happen. IMO Tailwind got to the point where you are adding dozens of classes to the tag and it gets a little unwieldy. There are some options to get around it but if AI just does't need it it's even better.

So what’s your solution exactly? No businesses at all?

See my OP.

In short, the appalling treatment of renters in Australia is due to the chronic undersupply of housing; if landlords had to compete for tenants it would not be possible to mistreat them in the way many currently do.

There is also scope for better regulation of tenancies and indeed the Victorian government has passed some reforms in this area.


That’s… not what they said, you’re putting words in their mouth

And he’s giving away most of his fortune to help others when he dies.

Idk how that can be considered a “life centered around greed”
