I think with advances in AI-assisted decompilation, we may soon end up in the situation where given a binary you can produce realistic-looking source (sane variable and function names, comments even) which compiles to the same binary, even though non-identical to the original source code

Could be, although I don’t think that’ll give them any more HDL to train on (unless they also get access to a whole lot of high end microscopes!)
