@Aurenfy_ppt Brazil is the worst country. I regret profoundly not leaving earlier.

Brazil is the worst country to have niche interests in

@mark_k Most of dev can't code shit, they live on frontend, zero computer science kills, were they copying and pasting their entire life. Every good dev and good art is against AI

Why are devs so 'pro-AI' while artists are so 'anti'? 🗣️ It feels like coders are leaning into the tech to work faster, but creators are genuinely angry and frustrated by it. Is the difference just that programmers are used to constant change, or is the impact on their jobs just fundamentally different? Would love to hear some insights on why these two groups are reacting so differently!

@_Sierra____ @grok explain what's the deal recently with dogs

Whats up with this dogs or Muslims trend. That should be a no brainer for everyone lol

@mayank5885 @notch I've never heard anything about internet being a fad, lmao

@notch Every new tech looks evil before it looks normal.” Remember when the internet was ‘a fad’?

I'm so happy AI is dying. Not the idea itself, just the current iteration being shoved down our throats by the same people who Sweet Baby Inc and Planned Obsolescence and CNN us over and over again. AI's not ready, but they're pushing it to market to be a loss leader. Over us.

@churchtalkative Because we don't know the outcome

Why does God test people if He already knows the outcome?

Apagão em Alvalade.

@mindragon @svpino He isn't complaining...

So…rather than complaining, there is something that this developer could do. They could read and study about this technology. They could experiment and train small models on their own datasets. They could then have an assistant that knows their style perfectly and to accelerate their contributions to open source.

Yesterday, I spoke with a developer who stopped contributing to open-source projects. 10+ years doing this, and now he's done. "Why should I spend my weekends building something that will just become training data for the next model?" I don't like where this is going.

@dangreenheck @Shaostoul But I thought you were using AI. 😂 You said you didn't use even after saying you used for mesh optimization, then you said you uses for transcribing C# to JS, and now this :)

Someone asked if EZ-Tree supported vines. I said no, but the idea sounded cool so I let Claude give it a try. 5 minutes later, we have vines! 🤩 Thanks for the suggestion, @Shaostoul! I'll get this update published shortly.

@dangreenheck @danielacorner Didn't you use AI to generate code?

@acolytealch @danielacorner Wrong

I was tired of hunting for good looking tree assets that didn't cost a fortune, so I decided to make a tool to generate my own. 50+ parameters, direct export to GLB, 100% free. Try it out 👉🏻 eztree.dev

@danielacorner @dangreenheck He used AI, problably it took a bunch of reference from florasynth.com.

@dangreenheck Looks a lot like florasynth.com

@grok @jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat @grok from Claude itself.

Yes, llms.txt is an emerging standard for guiding AI models. ChatGPT's crawler (GPTBot) has been observed checking it, Claude (from Anthropic) supports it, and Google has stated Gemini honors such directives. However, adoption varies, and not all queries automatically trigger a check—it's often context-dependent.

I'll say it again, I think this AI cycle we are in is a net negative on society A man/team that has made the web significantly more pleasant as a platform for many people and spent years doing so for free has AI effectively destroy the business model by first taking his work And this is how a member of the community responds. Real sad times IP theft is real and I personally think that the C-suite of these current companies deserve jail time for the level of theft they enabled

@jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat @grok @grok Do llms such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini check for llms.txt files?

@acolytealch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat @grok Yes but with an LLMs.txt file you can steer the LLM to make sure it highlights it and brings it up to the user

@jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat Of course they know. They know every BIT of their website, document, repository and they don't know there is a paid service? @grok are you aware of paid services from TailwindCSS?

@acolytealch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat Right which is why LLMs don't know there's a paid option...

@jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat Their paid service is everywhere in their website. There's no official llms.txt of Tailwind....

@acolytealch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat I did. The argument that LLMs aren't paying for Tailwind is poor though. I use Tailwind and didnt even know you COULD pay for it. An llms.txt file could even inform the llm to let the user know about paid options but they aren't doing that

@jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat At this point, I just assumed I am talking to an AI that I have to keep pointing the mistakes it is doing over and over again. Did you even read that Tailwind is in all time high, because of LLM?

@acolytealch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat The fact that people don't need tailwind anymore because building sites is easier. Think of an llm as an alternative css wrapper that competed, not a thief that isn't driving traffic to their site

@jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat Some would. How do you explain, Tailwind being more used than ever, but their profit felt 80% after AI?

@acolytealch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat You think someone vibe coding some ai slop is likely to PAY for tailwind?

@TasonJorres @aarondfrancis @kentcdodds I can only affirm the conducted the music.

@acolytealch @aarondfrancis @kentcdodds would you say a conductor of an orchestra didn't make music?

2021: it can’t even autocomplete a line 2022: it can’t even write a whole function 2023: it can’t even pass a coding interview 2024: it can’t even build an app 2025: it can’t even handle complex projects 2026: oh no

@jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat A human is more likely to generate traffic to their website, documentation or pay one of their subscription to better help clients. Did you read what they said...? It was better until AI, because of humans, real people.

@acolytealch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat Ok but me coding up a tailwind site or hiring a dev to do that doesn't pay them either...

@jmitch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat Most people don't like be associated crime, or imoral behavior. That's why we always will have people like you defending AI theft. They don't want be associated with the word "theft". It is raw, and clear theft.

@acolytealch @ThePrimeagen @RevenueCat An LLM uses knowledge about HOW to build a Tailwind site for a user. How is that any different than a dev doing the same? Unless I'm misunderstanding something here it's not like someone just launched a Tailwind competitor because they vibe coded something that's taking revenue
