We all know reverse engineering is better aimed at inherited works whose inheritors don't comprehend what they have in hand.
I sure hope we don't "all know" this
We should be reverse engineering anything we damn well please to learn how things work
That's hacker culture baby
"ThEn WhY aRe YoU oN HaCkEr NeWs?? tO hAcK iT? hA hA"
Quite amusing line of argument. Completely irrelevant. I am not responsible for hackers that defaced their own culture by hacking at it. I actually tried to save it, despite not being one.
I used to be a raker (in the Random Acts of Kindness sense). But it's hard. Too easy to get distracted. I am more of a planned acts of kindness guy now.
Our species as a whole benefits enormously from reverse engineering. The only folks who benefit from banning it are the ones who would hoard knowledge and skill.
Also, your comment makes no sense, you added nothing relevant to the discussion, and the fact that you decided to drop the "hacker" word to instead play on rephrasing is kind of silly.
There is absolutely nothing you will ever achieve of any benefit by doing these stunts. You are getting the wrong vibes of the "shifting perspectives" thing. It is meant for one-on-one empathy, not public displays of creepiness.
You are the one complaining about the label. Either argue the point - that taking things apart to find out how they work is good or bad - or just don't reply.
You can call me whatever names you want! But if your goal is to have discussions on the Internet, having strong emotional reactions to innocuous comments is probably not a good idea :)
How can a crew that steals all of everyone’s work and then says you can’t use their work for anything competitive with their “do anything machine” be considered anything except a bunch of unethical hypocrites?
It’s honestly sad how many people are paying to get pwned, dependent, and replaced by big AI companies right now
