alt Hacker NewsSurely then people start using LLMs to obfuscate compiled source to the point that another LLM can’t deobfuscate it. I imagine it’s always easier to make something messy than clean. Something like a rule of thermodynamics or something :)
Though, that’s only for actively developer software. I can imagine a great future where all retro games are now source available.
But on the other hand, at the current speed of LLM progression, a game that might have been obfuscated with the help of Opus 4.5 might in two years be decompiled within hours by Opus 6.5.
