@allin: Chamath: Software IP Just Became Worthless “I think that IP and software was effectively rendered worthless two days ago. There have been people that decompiled the entire Big 5. What is the Big 5? Adobe has five very, very important products in their product suite, and these folks basically decompiled it, distilled it, and published open source versions of these things. I was so shocked because I was like, ‘Hold on a second. These are profound products that have existed and have had moats for years, and now they're just open source versions.’ If you think about it, when everything is headless, so when Elon makes his services headless, Benioff made Salesforce headless a few months earlier, when all of these things are headless and you can wrap them in agent tools and you can connect them via MCP to other experiences, the value of IP no longer exists in software. It doesn't exist.”

I suspect this is why so many companies are switching to cloud apps now.

imagine had Adobe NOT made itself an actual target for this with their pricing plans…this was actually avoidable at the scale it happened

Yeah, I’m not going to start hand drawing art because another drawing tool exists, and I bet Adobe has more going on than a few desktop apps. I’m not convinced anything changed by this release

They didn't decompile it. They released AI onto it to recreate it.

I tried it out and it’s only vaguely like Adobe software. They didn’t decompile it. They wrote a new version with a similar interface. But they aren’t the first to make another image editing application.

This wouldn't have been such a big blow if Adobe wasn't a pos. Fee for unsubscribing? After already spending thousands lol

Mind you, after Adobe switched to their greedy subscription model that jump started other companies to do the same, their share value skyrocketed more than 1000%, from 30 bucks then peaking more than 600. So over the corporate greed. If the open source community destroys it, so be it. If we don't own our products, then piracy and open source isn't stealing.

100 percent . I have built two systems in a week to directly compete and they are better. Built one with muse and one with grok. Already have first client. These subscription software companies are screwed and if you work for one start looking for new career or go start your own company.
