Great… can’t wait for politicians to use this as a way to pass “common sense” legislation banning 3D printers.
You don’t need to ban 3D printers. Restrictions and licensing requirements for making, using, owning rockets and guidance software are enough.
This already would fall under an FFL for legal citizens anyway. As is the nature of the internet though, this open design will be preserved and available for those who seek it.
Being in that category just prevents it from being sold. It’s not illegal federally to build your own weapon without a FFL.
Is that the same rule for destructive devices? Genuinely curious - I know privately made firearms have different rules.
No, for a destructive device you have to file a form 1.
It’s vibe coded lol.

There’s an anecdote that comes up in software about people working on missile software not caring about memory leaks because it’s going to explode anyway before that becomes an issue.
Who cares about bugs in your software if it’s a hobby project that’s going to blow up anyway.
Also, including Claude doesn’t inherently mean vibe coded, it can be for writing tests, small components, or debugging.
Claude writes better code than most humans and a lot faster
No matter how mad this makes people, its still true.
What makes the code actually useful in most cases however, is enough understanding of the program to modify as its needed. That’s where LLMs fall flat. Even when the code works, its terrible at adjusting the code to fit a specific use case. Dont even get met started on usable documentation or maintenance.
Using an LLM to write tests and small components is still vibe coding.
Wikipedia says:
Vibe coding involves accepting AI-generated code without reviewing it,
If you are using LLMs to write e.g. small components, then you are typically understanding the structure of the program, and reviewing it.
There’s nothing inherent to small components to suggest that you have to review them. If they’re small, it’s easier to tell yourself that the LLM probably got them right and you’re justified in not checking.
