alt Hacker NewsClean room is not 100% legally necessary for RE, but I would never touch an LLM to do RE work when there's even a chance the models have been trained on the thing I ultimately plan to reimplement.
Furthermore, given that Asahi Linux, the biggest game in town when it comes to running Linux on Apple silicon, is trying to be cleanroom, it is incredibly rude of you to not mention LLMs until after showing a page full of LLM-derived firmware ABI. This is a trap for anyone who's trying to be cleanroom.

Are you claiming models were trained on proprietary Apple code? How would that even be possible?
The previous “Part 1” post is very candid about the approach, and the titles of both posts mention prompting.
The title is literally "I Came, I Prompted, I Left". I'm not sure how this can be clearer.
