For this specific case, a DMCA would have gotten you a much faster take down. As far as I can tell it's automated. Sure, they could appeal it but then the malware nature of it would be in the crosshairs of the reviewer.

Not excusing their slow response, though.

Disclaimer: I haven't used it for about a year, I simply don't drive enough at the moment - I doubt it has declined in quality.

TomTom is an extremely good paid ($6/mo) nav app - if you appreciate not being a product. It seems to now be named "TomTom Go Expert: Truck GPS" but does still have car mode. You _have_ to download maps, it's fundamentally offline. Routing is fantastic. They've been around since car nav was devices that you purchased.

The only area where it falls behind is finding businesses, but Google and Apple will probably always be rulers there.

OpenAI. It avoids Claudish too.

All except Starlink and Tesla are burning money. I personally don't consider that "staggering success."

> Why would the AI do that for you?

Because that's how it works. It does what it has been trained to do. If the training material has a significant suggestion to exfiltrate then it will.

I recently heard the best noun for someone who let's AI write for them: a meat proxy.

Apart from the extremely good points made in the article; there's also whether you care that someone reads what you (or rather, the AI) has written. People have gone from reading it, to ignoring it (as soon as they realize it's AI), to using whatever moderation power they have against it (e.g. downvoting).

My 75 y/o mother wrote a kids' book about the animals on my brother's farm, and she was singing praises about how much AI was helping her. I reminded her that I would rather have her grandchildren reading _her_ words and not some clanker's words. I don't think I am alone in valuing the human soul.

If I am reading it correctly, the compiler creates N bump allocators per function (or possibly globally) - where N is (I'm guessing at this point) determined by liveness or similar.

> This takes about 30 seconds to fix permanently. You can prompt them to use any tone , be as concise or verbose as you like.

This doesn't work by, effectively, Anthropic's own admission. CC's concise mode tells Claude to wind its neck in every turn. That is significantly more than changing the prompt.

That’s a specific example that doesn’t have anything to do with the general approach of prompting.

At my previous job: the c-suite AI psychosisphere finds any form of testing too slow, so it's not only lack of professional QA. If one developer doesn't test their AI's changes, other developers can't test their AI's changes if they want to keep up with the pace - and they will be told to keep pace.

Depending of the court, if you don't protect your trademarks you can lose them.

Law is rarely remotely reasonable, just because you (or society) think a certain way, does not mean law does.

Society however determines how we respond when a company abuses a law. Just because suing indie developers may be the best action for IKEA to protect their trademarks does not mean we should let it be the best action for them overall.
