• What a FF14 sage mood.

• That’s a real big ‘if’. Someone who understands and shapes the code isn’t really vibe coding. I might still not agree with what they’re doing, but it’s not vibe coding if they can take responsibility for every line of code produced.

• You’re thinking of patents, not copyright. You can’t copyright an idea, only the implementation of an idea. I could spend years perfecting a play, but when a troupe performs that play, I don’t own their performance.

  And you underestimate the idiocy of self-proclaimed ‘vibe coders’. Go into practically any FOSS community and see what they have to say about vibe-coded pull requests. The people making them have no clue what the code is doing, they’re just chasing clout with minimal effort.

• It also doesn’t really define ‘vibe code’ the way that it is generally understood by developers. Lots of devs use LLMs to do the busywork parts of development without actually vibe coding. It’s when you don’t understand what your code does that it becomes ‘vibe code’ - i.e. you’re relying on the vibes rather than understanding the code itself to determine if it’s good enough. Under that definition, where the prompt typically isn’t detailed enough to be considered a significant creative work and the person doing the prompting not only does not - but cannot - understand what it is doing, vibe code is NOT copyrightable, full stop.

  If it gets included in a larger work that doesn’t fit that definition, then sure, the whole is copyrightable, but then it’s just chunks of vibe code, not a vibe coded product - and the contribution in the form of a pull request is not. It is public domain.

• If it’s vibe coded, the person who wrote the prompt had minimal impact on the output. They can’t, because they don’t understand how it works. Their contribution is primarily limited to 1. writing a spec, which is often laughably vague, 2. testing the output to see if it works, and 3. if it doesn’t work right, telling the AI to fix the problems.

  This was also in response to the ‘trust me bro’ snide comment. I’m not going to go into detail for something that is practically sealioning.

• Only works created by humans can be copyrighted. This was borne out when it was determined that a photo a … monkey? Ape? One of those, took of itself by accident could not have copyright because a person wasn’t involved in the creation of the image.

  So far, the same has been ruled for works created by GenAI. See all the artworks out there that people were mad about not being able to get copyrighted.

• As the person who deployed the agent, you are responsible for what it does on your behalf. You stand to gain from its actions, you also stand to lose from its bad behavior.

  Of course, if the company that provided you the agent knowingly misrepresented the product, you can seek damages for what the agent did - but that’s up to you (and good luck getting damages from trillion-dollar tech companies and their armies of lawyers).

  on AI agents aren’t legally responsible for any harm that they cause, experts say. So who is? in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026

• Web developer, or business developer. A lot of inter-system communications these days is in JSON, whether there is any JavaScript involved or not.

• They’re definitely doing A/B testing; I just tried it in a private window and I can still access it, but posts like this are becoming more frequent.
