Malus.sh is satire m'dude

Am I reading the authors response correctly?

Does he just out and say "look, I ran this one tool and obfuscated my implementation until it said they shared no code. So that means it's ok I used the original implementation as a reference."

Sidenote, why are people so obsessed with giving up their rights and relicensing to MIT?

They have so much, but they just keep taking. Like FOSS is the only thing still cool about computing and they need to have that too. Fucking casino ass country.

Somebody do this to Minecraft and let Microsoft sue against AI

I agree with Prime on most things, but I think he’s getting this one wrong.

There are more options than just “light-hearted satire” and “earnest business idea”.

The FOSDEM talk is silly, and reads like a skit, but it has a gravely serious undertone.

The security guy has posted on Twitter “I still can’t believe he hooked it up to Stripe lol”.

Meanwhile the LinkedIn of the other guy describes him as a “researcher of political economy of FOSS” at Rochester Institute of Technology, and he runs a non-profit about FOSS for humanitarian aid.

He’s also been very active replying to people talking about the conference talk or the Malus site, asking whether they think this should be legal and what we can do to protect the future of open source.

I think these are people who take this threat very seriously, and are willing to expose themselves to litigation in order to force the issue into courts.

These people are evil. These AI data centres need to go up in flames.

Some jokes are not funny.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fight back? Should we start withholding test suites now? Withhold docs?

The reverse can be done. Let an AI write specs about a closed source product, then let another AI implement an opensource solution that follows the spec. TADA!
