Brandon Thomas, developer of ArtCraft, a suite of open-source creative tools meant to replicate Adobe applications for free, has now announced apps to replace Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, respectively, named GridCraft, DeckCraft, and WordCraft, that are created with Claude. Thomas has shared his new clones to ArtCraft GitHub, making them free for all to download.
Goalposts moved from ‘it’s only copying this exact project’ to ‘any conceptually similar project can be reworked until it’s identical and that doesn’t count either.’
The MW2 decomps are from the binary - but there’s obviously none of its source code in the training data. Not that you seem to care, suddenly. You’ve made your position unfalsifiable and therefore meaningless.
New clone of a whole-ass software suite? They must be copy-pasting a specific libre project, doesn’t count. Oh it’s from spec documents, and structured completely differently? Well the other libre implementation is in the training data, doesn’t count. Oh it also cloned cloud applications with no binaries or alternatives? I do believe there are more video effects packages, does! not! count!
Meanwhile.
These schmucks have a one-to-one copy of the latest Photoshop, permissively licensed, ready to use. It did not exist last month.
Whining about how it got made won’t change a goddamn thing.
