modzu··on MPs moving to restrict gambling ads in Canada

modzu··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
hey there. fellow indie dev here. i feel you, i see copyright and ai slop ripoffs on the daily. in fact i used to be most upset seeing my opensource code show up in much bigger commercial projects unattributed (looking at you microsoft) but im here to tell you the real answer: you have to compete. you have to compete against the slop and the clones just like youre competing with the original ps and the gimps and the kritas already. it doesnt seem fair, it seems harder, and it is. but thats the truth. ai is out of the bottle. you can still make a better photopea than some dimwit ai and the loser trying to publish their clone, because you think about and obsess over and care about your product way more deeply. that manifests. and you might say why obsess when it can just be copied. and now you sound just like metallica did in 1999. welcome to 2026
modzu··on Photopea creator weighs in on Photosuite project
that may be true, but doesnt change the outcome. that it's literal copyright infringement here is quaint: the same user can turn around and give us a new photopea clone with 0% matching code in about 10 minutes. then what?
modzu··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
there is no more software IP. ai does not need source: it can infer or deduce the logic or algos. and in the case of private software dont think it hasn't been sucked up too
modzu··on Photopea creator weighs in on Photosuite project
there's the rub, ai cloned is not derivative in the copyright sense. we need to figure out what we value as a society here and let the law catch up. its wild right now
modzu··on What I learnt co-leading an AI Safety bootcamp for legal and governance practit
turtle island is not a literal place. its an indiginous reference to the world. a dei expert claimed there was an island the indiginous people were from. the point being they were not an expert. similar challenges happening today for ai safety experts
modzu··on What I learnt co-leading an AI Safety bootcamp for legal and governance practit

hacker vibes would be sharing how he learned to program the ecu with a laptop. or putting in a short throw. running linux on the headunit, etc. but no, all this guy did was put a louder, annoying exhaust on it and drives it like its a go kart. im just left wondering what stickers he will tastefully add to it? haha but its ok, its a mid life crisis after all.. if he is feeling happy and like a child again, thats totally great
