Comment on Why is it impossible to reverse-engineer closed source software?

As others have mentioned, it's possible but very complicated. Decompilers produce code that isn't very readable for humans.

I am indeed awaiting the big news headlines that will for some reason catch everyone by surprise when a LLM comes along that's trained to "translate" machine code into a nice easily-comprehensible high-level programming language. It's going to be a really big development, even though it doesn't make programs legally "open source" it'll make it all source available.
