Re: "We'd Like To Warn You To Not Fall For The Trap" - New Android PS2 Emulator Accused Of Being "Vibe-Coded" Rip-Off

"Vibe-coding" is just coding. If they actively ripped off someone's work wholesale, then the criticism is fair enough (assuming it wasn't open source in the first place etc.) but this is just a form of coding otherwise.
AI witch hunts really don't help anyone. If there's bad actors doing bad things then that's one thing, and needs to be pointed out, but the way this article is worded it just comes across as 'ooohh scary AI was used for something' without a whole lot of elaboration on why it might be bad in this case- which it might well be. It frames it as AI being the problem by existing- instead of what they did which was specifically bad- that part is left vague, which isn't helpful. Feels like AI fearmongering clickbait without enough of those details.

The guy literally described himself as a radical zionist. The issue is as cut and dry as it gets- don't support self-proclaimed bigots- but ESPECIALLY don't support self-proclaimed bigots WHO LITERALLY HAVE NO PROBLEMS KILLING PEOPLE AND HAVE A SUCCESSFUL WEAPONS COMPANY DESIGNED TO DO SO.
The line here is so obvious- there is NO grey area here. Let's stop pretending there is- that's a disservice to anyone's intelligence.
