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

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

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.

    0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapetomania

    • 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.

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

    • >> 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.

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.

  • 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."

  • 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.
