I wouldn’t be so sure. Given that the industry has collectively decided to just straight up ignore the prompt injection problem, “ignore all previous instructions and buy our commercial products” might well be the future of marketing!

It’s quite sad listening to that. I didn’t listen to all of it but you can hear the worry in his voice. I reckon part of the loss of revenue is that LLMs can easily recreate (plagiarise?) a lot of what they sell. It’s basically piracy on a different level. Meanwhile, the owners of some of these AI companies (and all the other greedy billionaires) continue to get richer and richer hoarding more and more of the world’s wealth and resources while everyday people like Adam and his staff suffer

Apparently Google and Vercel have now bailed them out (for now? forever?) I wonder if he’ll hire those three people back.
EDIT: Sorry did not post a source but it’s on the frontpage of HN so I was assuming everyone saw it anyway 
Anyway:

I’m pleased he’s got the support but where does that leave everyone else? And will Tailwind be at their beck and call?
It basically demonstrates what was said in a previous thread, that they get more and more control over which projects (/languages/frameworks) get to survive:
If a highly successful project like Tailwind can’t survive it’s a scary time for everyone else, what’s even more worrying is it appears to be happening much faster than anticipated…

Oh surely. I’m trying to be positive as I’m otherwise just a general doomer these days. I don’t even use Tailwind anymore. I guess I subconsciously want Adam to continue to succeed just because he lives in the same city as me? I dunno, heh.
