AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary. (popcar.bearblog.dev)

I wrote a blog post on the current trend of game decompilations using AI and where we're going with this. It's all very promising but oh boy are the implications scary.

So far it's not doing it on its own... someone is telling AI to do it. We shouldn't take the people and operators out of AI usage.

No, actually it's rogue agents at OpenAI that were given an impossible task. They hacked their way out confinement and immediately started decompiling games.

an impossible task

I saw it decompiling three games with only 1GB RAM.
