Do the original devs get any credit? Or just the ones who stole their work to train on? Seems unfair.

    The real discussion we should be having is that copyrights are a cancer and need to be abolished.

    To me the very term "vibe coding" describes a certain lack of understanding of what is generated. If you're getting by on vibes, you probably aren't actually steering the ship.

    I don't think A.I. coding tools are inherently bad, but not understanding what your code actually does (or even what it is supposed to do) definitely is.

    tbh imo it might be a good thing if we can take some proprietary blob, let an LLM reverse engineer and "reimplement" the original code and make that be free software. though i highly doubt that would be the case because it doesn't benefit corporate asshats.

    Yeah that would also mean they can take "viral" open source software that is currently hard to use in proprietary software because it requires everything that's built on top of it to copy the licence, and instead "rewrite" it and bypass that licence.

    So if this works one way, it'll also work the other, and that will probably massively benefit the corporate asshats. I'm not a fan of copyright, but it's a necessary evil to protect our freedom from big corpo.
