This project does not seem associated with Advent of Code (https://adventofcode.com/). Whether or not it's literal trademark infringement, I dislike the name as it's obviously confusing. "AI Paper Advent Calendar" would reuse a generic term. "Advent of Code" is a specific project.

EDIT: "Advent of Code" is a registered trademark and you should change your name. https://adventofcode.com/2024/about

I think it's a bit absurd to care about trademark infringement of a social activity like this, but it should have been "Advent of AI Code" at least.

Eric puts a ton of effort into AoC each year and has built a great reputation for it. They shouldn't have to worry about other events stealing/muddling that name.

We're hosting an AI Advent of Code event. You'll spend Christmas implementing AI papers in C, Zig, Haskell et al.

It's free and I hope you guys are interested.

The signup sends me to a substack which sends me back to the page in a circle.

There don’t seem to be any challenges there yet, and the page states it doesn’t begin until December 9th.

So it's not even aligned with Advent...

Is it LeetCode? Is it AoC? No. Also, no.

How is this even so high on this site? It has basically zero content and the feels very much like an ad for something, but the site is so lacking I'm not even entirely sure what it's supposed to be. Not sure who would enter their email address on this site, but my advise would be, don't.

The author literally ask the reader to pay for a lifetime subscription for whatever BS product they are selling.
