I think what gets missed in Mastodon-clique conversations about GenAI as a copyright-washing tech is, how the new GenAI exception to copyright law applies unequally to different actors. Someone with a big AI-gen corporation on their side can take my open source code and rewrite it "to be MIT licensed" using a chatbot, and they get away with it. But I can't do what *I* want, which is to make a decomp/recomp of Photoshop Creative Suite 5 that runs on Linux and Redox and distribute it.
tired: using AI to decompile games
wired: using AI to decompile windows
inspired: using AI to decompile the nvidia graphics driver to run cuda on AMD cards
