In an interesting moment to watch, legally: https://www.404media.co/reverse-engineer-anything-is-the-new-wild-west-of-ai/

I'm not a fan of / don't respect vibecoding, but I *am* a fan of jailbreaking devices and *legalizing* decompiling (notably, the decompiling work that's interesting is not happening by vibecoders though).

It's an interesting moment because previously corporations have been in the "we can do whatever we want because we're exploiting the commons" perspective, and now things are starting to hit against their own stuff. What will happen? I don't know.

I'm not sure what is going to happen from a legal perspective, but I think we are looking at one of three outcomes:

- This all gets declared legal, which would be a huge win against the ways corporations hold copyright over people
- This all gets declared *illegal*, which could be a win against a bunch of the business cases genAI hinges upon
- But unfortunately, there is also the likely third option: big corporations become allowed to do these things, individuals are not

@NanoRaptor actually not sure whether I own more yarn or books
the vast majority of the books in the apartment are my wife's

this morning
a cruel curve of black-patent beak,
a single terrifying eye
at my high window looking in –
the cocky, glossy bulk
of that big blue-black and white bird,
its gleam, its stare –
