&quot;I don&#39;t care that Andy used AI to vibecode copycat websites and apps, I care that he&#39;s trying to profit off the work of others without telling them!&quot; me watching AI scrape the entire internet so that 100 Andys can profit off of you playing with other people&#39;s work: 😒 #MeshCore

Context: "MeshCore is a community project. A bunch of hackers, radio nerds, tinkerers and digital nomads scattered across the planet, building a LoRa mesh stack in the open because information wants to route around damage and people want to talk without asking permission. It belongs to the community that built it — all of them, collectively, not one person. Then Andy Kirby quietly filed a trademark on the community's name, quietly vibe-coded a closed "MeshOS" companion on top of the community's work, and quietly bolted a "license check" (tollbooth) onto an app built atop a protocol he didn't write alone." https://meshoskey.com/index.html reddit comments excusing the AI while condemning his other behavior https://red.artemislena.eu/r/meshcore/comments/1stbhw4/the_meshcoreio_split/
