I'm confused. The post rants about LLMs but says the project is open source and most of the copies are v1.3. What does LLMs have to do with this? Further, if your idea is simple to copy it will be copied. See Threes vs 2048. Sure, yours might be best for some defintion of "best". Maybe? A recent example is the Suika Game. It's a game, once you know the idea, you could write, without an LLM, in a few hours. And so the…

The video description only links to some clone and not to the now (since 2011 or so) also open sourced original Animator:

You should consider reading the article as everything you talk about is addressed almost directly by the author.

Maybe you should go read the HN comment guidelines

I get that it's frustrating - that's what open source allows though. I used to run a blog. I ran a few websites, open sourced, that were similar in a general way (users can make stuff on the site and share it others). I found the site duplicated. In fact it's still duplicated to this day. Oh well.

This is why I’ve recently modified my git forge to return subtly and maliciously buggy code if it detects it is being accessed by an LLM. I won’t link it, and I won’t do a write up to retain effectiveness, but I have already found at least 3 vibe coded slop projects on GitHub that include my deliberately buggy code verbatim, and it makes me very happy.

this sounds very effective. I obviously understand you wouldn't want to explain how LLM detection works, but would it be possible to know which forge your using?

Self-hosted, semi-popular project. The forge itself runs two unmodified copies of forgejo, which one you get served depends on if you trip the LLM detection.

There are some obvious give-aways to avoid bad stuff happening to people that just happen to trip the detection, but the escape hatch hasn’t yet been clicked by anyone, so it probably hasn’t had a false positive yet.

Good article, and I feel your pain. Sometimes it feels like there's no point creating anything anymore, because shitty people will just steal it. In case you're interested, though, I just wanted to point out that there are things you can do. In my experience, Google does respond to requests to scrub infringing sites from their results if you submit their Copyright Claim form. They even give you a dashboard with the s…

With the amount of piracy that went on with the early 2000's videogames (doom!) I'm surprised anyone made money.

unless you're talking about doom 3 (which I can't really speak on), doom is from the 90s and was shareware
