the disregard AI bros have for IP law is astonishing. not that I think IP law should be respected, ofc, but just out of basic survival instinct? perhaps it's that AI allows so many more people to instantly produce RE without having to go through a lengthy learning process, and the ones to come forward first are ones that have never been threatened / sued? perhaps it's the general feeling of disruption they have while using it? or the fact that huge labs are technically being complicit in it, so "surely I'm protected too, right?"

If this is related to the adobe clone, the argument is that it’s a clean room implementation, wich, has legal precedent of being valid
@gabboman in part, but i was thinking more about projects that don't even think about what their defense would be or what defending themselves would cost
@gabboman (but yes. while i have not looked into these adobe / office clones that are popping up, i sincerely doubt a lot of them really understand what clean room means? based on my limited experience in Asahi I think many of them will have just told their agents to "use clean room" and think that this somehow creates a robust defense)

Here is the thing, due my work I have worked with AI and I know what it does well and what it sucks at.
Here are the two possibilities:
1: decomp adobe with traditional program. Agent 1: “make
me a spec for this program regarding the functionality it has. Remove the drm shit”. Agent2 from another provider: “implement me THIS spec, you who haven’t seen the original code”
2: “grok make me a prompt for the photoshop functionality”. “Claude implement me this prompt”
Both take time. Not as much as doing it yourself… but yeah
In both cases, the original code hasn’t been seen. Thats why it was done to adobe but wouldn’t work on gimp, because its code is public
hmm i think it has to do with the feeling that AI makes RE so accessible that it would be a lost cause for software giants to try to assert their rights; the genie is already out of the bottle. I wish it were true, it'd probably be one of the only good things to come out of all this
