You didn't vibe code it, you stole it from open source&enterprise-licensed code twitter.com

Folks... read the actual tweet. They literally didn't vibe code it - they copy-pasted another project.

I'd suggest replacing that link with https://xcancel.com/mfts0/status/2070080422482977095

Close your source if you don't want it to be read by LLM

That's not how licenses work, Papermark is AGPL

In the same way I used to steal games out of the Unity script reference and documentation.

This anti-AI posturing is like a cross-breed between the patient group of an unmedicated medieval asylum and an equally psychotic medieval inquisition.

AI is busy destroying my art and my livelihood. Fighting back is about as psychotic as drapetomania[0] was.

Has any group of workers ever "won" a long-term victory against a new technology? There are plenty of short-term concessions made in the face of powerful trade union opposition, but I can't think of any technology that was just stopped dead to appease workers with obsolete skills.

Did you do that for personal use or for billions upon billions of dolars?

This doesn't appear to be AI posturing, did you read the tweet? It is about one product blatantly, directly ripping off another.

Then it shouldn't reference AI or Vibe coding.

You didn't code it, you stole it from open source OS and compiler maintainers

Stealing it for your use case would take more effort vibe coding. The term is fine as is

Gonna have to see the agent trace on that one.

Don't care. Competition is good for consumers.

When it plays fair, sure. Not when it steals.

Logic of people in the FOSS swamp:

1. I'm going to give away all my work for free to the whole world.

2. HELP! HELP! POLICE! People are stealing my work!

Start charging a fair price for your work, or just give away the binaries and not the source if you want to do it for free.

Step out of the FOSS swamp, step in to human dignity.

Unless you don't copy the license terms, it's impossible to "steal" open-source code. That's... sort of the point.

gryfft7 minutes ago

Many open source licenses levy restrictions upon the acceptable use of the software. Those restrictions may include attribution requirements, up to and including a requirement to include the license when redistributing the code; they may forbid using derivative works for commercial purposes; they may require the downstream project to utilize the same license. Open source is not the same thing as "anybody can do anything they want forever."

gryfft3 minutes ago

You edited your comment while I was replying, and merely copying the license does not cover many other possible restrictions.

irdc8 minutes ago

Papermark is AGPL; Corgi must release all its changes.

lenerdenator8 minutes ago

That means they're not complying with the license terms. Which would be stealing. Like I said it would be.

irdc5 minutes ago

So we're in violent agreement then?

Copyleft is still a thing. Right to attribution is still a thing. Please, read about it and you will discover that there is a lot of nuance to the open-source code.
