His co-host had just said AI makes it easy to pull secret algorithms out of compiled software. Marques builds on it: the cost of reverse engineering used to be the thing that protected products, and AI agents are removing that cost.
…of like a revolution against these giant companies because we can just strip out all of the that they sell us and make us use without asking and all stuff like that. Very interesting point. Yeah. So I don't know. It's going to be really interesting to see how firmware moves in the future. I think
…it in source code and you could sell an app and no one would be able to actually get the algorithm without doing a full reverse engineer. Whereas now I've been seeing a lot of plug-in manufacturers be like the algorithm that gives our audio plug-in a specific sound, Claude can just rip out of the
it's insane. Yeah, it's insane because like reverse engineering was one of the hardest things and most time consuming things you could possibly do. And that was sort of the moat that stopped people from even doing it because it took so many resources and so much time. And now these agents will just run endlessly until they completely decompile everything. People are decompiling every video game ever made and just making them free.
Because it's, it's, it's,
well, it's legal to reverse engineer things.
But it's not clear to just sort of assume that it would take so many hours.
