What Hacker News says

I understand that filter, I think, but unfortunately your filter is failing you here. The original post was replaced by Hacker News, and was originally a long post on Github - https://github.com/jarczakpawel/OrcaSlicer-bambulab/blob/mai... - detailing how tightly integrated Bambu's networking plugin is with their "forked from the community, long standing AGPLv3" Bambu Studio. That Github post is from the creator at the center of the current debacle, who is probably the foremost expert on Bambu's networking plugin that exists outside of Bambu at the moment since he reimplemented it from scratch. There were no long LLM generated tweets in the original post. I agree that Prusa's tweets seem like a weak and conspiratorial argument about Bambu being a Chinese company and so something. They seem like a distraction and it's a shame HN changed th

e original post. Surprising they can even do that. The AGPLv3 violations here are pretty clear. Bambu's networking plugin is a tightly integrated closed-source carve out of AGPLv3 code they forked from the open-source community.

The original post that this commenter objected to, which has now been replaced by Hacker News with a tweet from Josef Prusa with none of the same technical detail, is from one of the primary players in this whole debacle. Here's the original post: https://github.com/jarczakpawel/OrcaSlicer-bambulab/blob/mai... jarczakpawel@ (on Github) reimplemented their network plugin and was targeted with over-inflated legal threats (like Section 1201 claims about circumventing access control, which it did not do) and forced to take down his implementation. What he did is provide an open implementation of their closed source network plugin based on their open-source, AGPLv3 Bambu Studio. This was not some random "AI slop post". This was a (seemingly AI written, yes) summary from the creator at the center of the current debacle, who seems to be the best

non-Bambu expert we have on Bambu's networking plugin. Josef Prusa's tweet is not at all equivalent information. Prusa's tweet seems to be little more than some conspiratorial thoughts about Chinese law and Bambu being a Chinese company. Does that play in? Maybe, I have no idea one way or the other, but it says nothing about the AGPL violations or the technical details of how tightly integrated the plugin is with Bambu Studio.
