if people are going to use the evil slop machine for reverse engineering the least they could do is reverse engineer like, proprietary video or audio drivers from big corps instead of reverse engineering old games and then slopping up the retro scene with it

will the anthropic AI reverse engineering ban help stem the tide of slopcoded recomps and stuff?

*One hopes this activity doesn't count as "reverse-engineering" those typewriter documents
OCR is getting cheap enough to redo whole collections. I ran an open 0.8B model over 14,483 pages of typed industry documents: 31 minutes on one GPU, $1.67. That is roughly $100 to $500 per million pages, depending on the page. The video shows speed in realtime.

Do people know what "reverse engineering" means? Because it does NOT mean "create a knockoff version of something" lol

I'm not going to spend half a day reverse engineering the whole history that led us to one development so that every person can understand something that everyone does not need to understand.
That's a waste of your time, and it's a waste of my time.

It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining, and I’m trapped indoors reverse engineering an entire penal code + 40 years of reforms in order to scaffold a specific inciting incident that I can’t write out of the central plo. Never write high fantasy, kids

I'm not sure whether that makes using AI to jailbreak them ok, but calling reverse engineering stealing is accepting these megacorps deceitful premises

The good thing is that closed source software is also getting disempowered because reverse engineering a decompiled binary is free now.

unfortunately "ai reverse engineering" is still useless slop. the point of REing is literally only to reproduce something that is meaningful and understandable to humans again. not just guessing at whatever is "most likely" code that happens to match the binary
