Short version: Two seperate "vibe-coders" used Claude to create an app--which turned out identical. And then the coders went after each other.

Nick Lockwood: Holy shit, so the "Claude plagiarised an app" story is actually "Claude produced the same app twice when prompted to do so by two separate developers" ๐

I looked at the replies to this post, did some more digging, and found the actual story is even weirder.
BOTH projects were generated using Claude. So you have two people - both generating the same app from the same training data - having a public throw down over who copied who. Kind of embarrassing.
I typed into my computer "apt update && apt upgrade" and it improved a lot of the software on my computer.
If anyone else typed that into their computer, you're copying me and I'm going to sue you!
Phew, lucky me. I always type it as two separate lines.
Still seems derivative ๐ค
The only reason I even use pacman is because I like seeing it gobble all the little dots. Nomnomnom.
