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.

Yeah - I like this. It gives old games a new life. It is really something creative going on and we will see more mods and addons for older games. We will get Linux ports of Windows games and that is awesome!

I really feel that peoples minds are switching into hatred at the mere mention of AI. "We've decompiled Super Smash Bros and you can now play it on Linux and add new characters" is celebrated, but "We've decompiled Super Smash Bros with AI and you can now play it on Linux and add new characters" is getting pure hatred. Which is insane.
