  Kind of maybe? There’s a lot of info flying around but the bottom line is that they rebuilt it in rust and it’s Ai slop code and sucks.

  They used an AI model to repeatedly generate guesses of the code until it matched the compiled bytecode, then AI-generated new code based on the decompiled source to create a technically unique codebase that can do most of the same functions and looks extremely close to the original.

  Has essentially every feature, but also bugs out a lot or has features that technically work, but not in the same way as Photoshop (e.g. magic wand selection tool might bug out and select stuff on more than one layer, and might be less accurate and selecting fine edges)

    It’s almost like it was vibe coded!

  Somebody used ai to launder a leaked source. From what I understand, it’s about as functional as one can expect a fully slop coded project to be (barely).

  It’s been found that LLMs are actually great at decompiling things. Whereas before this process was possible but very time consuming, LLMs can do it in hours/days depending on the software.

  So there’s a group that is decompiling Adobe software and rewriting it in Rust, and then published the apps + rewritten code

    So we have AIs turning proprietary software into open source software, and AIs rewriting open source software into proprietary software. Wonder what will happen if we run this in a loop

      Out of memory error, probably.

        The entire world is experiencing an out of memory error thanks to this loop

      that is when I’ll try an ai gen game.

      When it’s 100% inspired by a genre and actually fully chosen by the growing personality.

  Ever since the latest AI models have come out, closed source essentially ceased to be. You can get something closely resembling the original source code from just about any running binary now.

  Yup.
