What would the new open source projects do differently from the "old" ones? I don't think you can forbid model training on your code if your project is open source.

Interesting! How did you make Claude "know" the PCB layout/schematic specifics? Is just giving it a "reference prompt" enough to produce any interesting results? One thing that comes to mind is to use LLMs understanding of SVG to build "spatial representation" of the board layout by presenting components and tracks as SVG primitives of different type etc. I imagine a practical "PCB Design Copilot" would come from specialized models, trained from the ground up on a large design dataset. There is no GitHub for free professional grade PCB design sources to scrape though.

Its interesting how Elon Musk became a target of large media outlets' attacks since he de-facto entered US and world politics. The way he entered it is novel and technological. Fascinating to see how this story unfolds further.
