Seeing more programmers take the stance of "the plagiarism machine works, so I guess we have accept it".

Contrast that with art and creative industries, where theft and plagiarism aren't new phenomenons. Unions keep these industries alive. And it's laughable to imagine telling an artist that they have to accept a plagiarist in their communities.

Easy to say "let's all be nice to each other" when you're well paid and haven't lost your job yet. Some tough lessons will be learned soon.

@protowlf The sad thing is that a lot of programmers don't see programming as a creative work. They don't care about copyright, licenses or actual skill, because the hype man told them that "ai is the future".

@protowlf And the customers don't care either.
Take Steam for example: If you use AI where the user can see it (textures, models, story, etc.) you have to disclaim it on your store page. If you vibecode the whole thing: you don't have to disclose anything.

People don't view code as art, they view it as a necessary evil.
