almmaasoglu · x · 2026-10-05
Quoting news that the PS5 is now 80% reverse-engineered and ported to PC, almmaasoglu argues the age of decompilation is here: once models can inspect, reconstruct, imitate, and reimplement almost any software, truly closed-source software effectively disappears. He notes copyright, ownership, reverse-engineering, and IP laws were all built for a world where reproducing complex software required enormous human expertise — a framework that may not survive past 2028.
