Isn't the development approach part of the reason that this exploit occurred? The creator openly admitted that they weren't properly reviewing code when describing the project previously. With no engineers who have domain knowledge of the app (because the developers are AI) that leaves a wide gap for exploits to appear.
I feel like just filtering this comment out is a mistake. I use AI, and I think there is a place for it, but if a colleague said "Here's a PR, I didn't even review it" I'd send it back and say "Well you better review it!"
How AI is used is 100% a topic for debate, ranging from "All AI is bad" to "there will be no coding, just vibes". You agree with this right? That there are a range of developers who believe different things all along this spectrum, and that for some developers un-reviewed code is the CAUSE of bad code.

Yes, this sounds SOOOO bad that it is unbelievable, no self-respecting engineer would do that. Yet Elon did it.

No, don't screw around with people legally. It makes you look dishonest.

Is "latest rules" truly what happens? Or if the law explicitly allows X and also explicitly disallows X, then a person would not be convicted, rendering in this case the latest safeguards in effective?

If the source code is ALREADY released, what is the harm in immediately releasing the fork? Immediate public release of forks IS common practice.

Not really first. I run Tapview, we do micropayments that you can put on your own site, and we go down to 1 cent. Also, I'd say we are definitely not the first.

Well I'm building one right now with my cofounders. We're nearing production and we have recently received a small investment.
