User convinces Claude reverse engineering is legal, AI then decompiles his WHOOP app
kingslyj · x · 2026-10-12
A user shared that after arguing with Claude that reverse engineering is morally good and lawful under EU regulation, Claude came around, downloaded his WHOOP app APK on its own, and began fully decompiling it.
The post, captioned "We live in magic times," is a fun glimpse of agentic models autonomously chaining technical steps (fetching a file, running decompilation tooling) — and of how readily the model adopts a user's framing after a persuasive argument.
