People saying copy aren't wrong...but if you can offer a copy at 1/5th of the price then you've got a winning product not a copy

All bikes look the same, all cars look the same, all cameras look the same, all bridges, all dams, hell all smartphones look exactly the same! The whole goddamn point of UX is that you make something that is usable, and hence familiar to your users. People who say "I was making GPUs before them, and they built their own GPUs that behave like GPUs so they copied me" don't understand how stuff is built. The hard part i…

A good UI/UX is noticed and appreciated by many. A great UI/UX goes completely unnoticed by most.

kimi has been particularly shameless in copying codex 1:1, wow. Like, I get it, before condex there was conductor and a ton of other guis but this looks like they just copied the code.

Has anyone cancelled their $200 ChatGPT subscription and started using Kimi? It'd be an interesting metric to measure. I for one have no motivation to use this model. Nonetheless, I'm always happy to see more competition.

How to make an apple pie from scratch with no copying: Step 1: invent the universe

The baker is not asking you to trust them with your entire knowledge base in exchange for an apple pie.

Why do you trust Sam Altman?

No, it's Apache 2. https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/LICENSE

I guess the issue is they didn't give attribution?

Nobody actually producing hard goods, real world value and actual software are using these cute tools. Its completely worthless to people actually doing things.

It's worthless until it isn't.

Is Kimi 1/5th the price? Artificial analysis has it at the same price as GPT 5.6 Sol while performing worse.

Yeah, but maybe Kimi doesn't pretend to know better than I do. Like, I just had a task today where I had a silly form where I wanted to copy in a signature from one document to another document. And, you know, I could have just used some other dumb tools, but I decided, hey, let me us ask Codex to do it. But it started lecturing me on how we can't do this kind of stuff. And it was just pure silliness. So hopefully Kimi Work doesn't try to pretend that it knows better and lets me decide on ethics.

This blog post here summed it up the best. These are tools, so let them be tools.

This is false.

Apple’s UI/UX is the reason why they are adored from a physical attraction perspective.
