Apparently some people are claiming that "closed-source software is over" because LLMs can decompile proprietary software effectively enough to then make working(ish) "independent" versions of it.
Apple's, Google's, and Microsoft's control over their respective OSes would like to have a word.
Oh you have this slop-generated copy of Photoshop? That's cute, but I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you run it.
The necessary machinery is already there. A switch just needs to get flipped.
Oh you want to run an independent OS on your device to not be encumbered by that? Tough luck buddy, your banking apps will not work, and your national ID app will not let you confirm your age to log in to your social network to even complain publicly about this.
Some people are so distracted by shiny LLM gimmicks that they miss the forest for the trees.
