This Is Bad
AI Summary
The PrimeTime host argues that open-source software is effectively 'dead' due to the emergence of AI clean room engineering, which he describes as a serious threat disguised as a joke. He explains the legal precedents of Baker vs. Seldon, which established that ideas cannot be copyrighted, only expressions, and the Phoenix Technologies case from 1984, which validated 'clean room engineering' as a legal method to replicate functionality without direct copying. The host then introduces 'Malice Liberate opensource,' a service that uses AI to perform clean room engineering, effectively bypassing open-source licenses like GPL. He initially thought the service was a joke due to its satirical branding but confirmed its functionality by purchasing and testing it. The host expresses deep frustration and anger, stating that commercial entities can now legally 'snatch' code, and there appears to be no legal recourse. He highlights a tweet from 'Sammy Samboy' that he interprets as dismissive of human effort in software creation. The host believes this development will lead to corporations getting what they want and fears a future where new technological innovation, like React, may no longer be possible. He speculates that the creators of Malice might be trying to provoke outrage to force government intervention and new laws, though he doubts this will happen.
