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.

I still spend a decent chunk of time on Reddit, but I've been pushed out of a lot of specific retro game communities by both the massive influx of AI-decomps and the immediate hostility if you voice your opinions against it. One walked back its "no generative AI" rule entirely last week. It's a bit depressing.
