> It's been said a thousand times but the ability to produce copyrighted material is not copyright infringement.

Aside from fair use, yes it is.

> If I draw The Simpsons on a piece of paper - whether or not I used AI to create it - it's not copyright infringement.

Only because of the fair use doctrine, which is limited. If it damages the market for the original, then a court could definitely declare it to be infringement.

> Copyright infringement is if I tried to sell that Simpsons work as my own, putting up for consumption and reaping the monetary benefits.

No. Copyright infringement requires neither sale nor misrepresenting a work as one's one. It also covers derivative works, not just perfect duplicates. Copyright covers reproduction and derivate works and distribution/performance -- you can get in trouble for just one of those. Taken strictly, that would be a horrible world, but fortunately the fair use doctrine weakens those quite a bit. On the flip side, if AI reproduction destroys the original markets -- as it is quite obviously doing right now -- then it's going to have a reckoning at some point, given how its legal status is completely based upon getting a free ride by claiming fair use.

Old boards with new lords?

Splintered floors? Gaps in doors?

Pay no mind – a fee will do!

Abundance for all, or at least these two.

Feudalism!

No way I wanna chat with my oven

Got any burning questions today?

Maybe a few half-baked thoughts.

Lie you have 4

Shadcn is great until you want to use it

Why ?

Like those "HTML Templates" of the early 00s where the demo looks amazing but when you copy and paste it all into your setup hardly anything looks the same.

Your outer CSS and FE framework isn't accounted for, and often the overall layout doesn't work / isn't responsive.

Then you go to add new components... Suddenly you are missing entire CSS files that were not included in the last thing you pasted in. Gotta find those. But the versions have changed in 1 but not the other.

Dropdowns don't look the same in v3 but the styles for all form elements need to be v3 in order to use the modal overlay.

You end up hunting down JS and CSS files, versioning down markup, eventually you recall why npm was invented.

Now the hunt really begins - whose npm do I use? All Google searches point to the official sounding "shadcn-ui" - oops, despite millions of downloads there's a deprecation notice - the other non-namespaced one with an almost identical name is the correct one. But, oops! Tailwind needed.

Now the hunt really begins - How do you install Tailwind????

Lol and I wish I was joking when I say:

HOW DO YOU FULLY INSTALL TAILWIND AND SHADCN

The answer is: You can't. There are varying degrees to what those words mean and it's a wild west within a wild west.

...is the main reason.
