Game decompilation with AI — which reconstruction methods stay legal

So you've been decompiling games, eh? I don't understand what I mean now about AI bubble not gonna burst. Other bubbles will burst. Maybe the economy will break, but the AI bubble's not bursting. Let's talk about what is decompilation and how you can get away with it. A couple different kinds. Thanks to Kingi AI for this. It's actually a really good write-up. There's matching decompilation, functional reconstruction, static recompilation, engine re-implementation, and porting recovered source. Here's what's legal. It's engine re-implementation and functional reconstruction. So what you do is you literally have to give it the game and then say, write a new version of this using a different language and it just needs to match what that other one does. And we can compare what the other one does because there's a lot of ways to generate what the other one does. For example, playing it and comparing what are the pixels that are output by the GPU. And if you can get the pixels output by the GPU, then you've reconstructed the engine. And it's not impossible to reconstruct, right? Some demonstrations of what it's engine written from scratch without the game using the original executable. Legal, not really legal, right? This is more about cracking into stuff that we haven't been given access to. This is more about reconstructing things. This is protected. This is not. Very useful because I can just check what is the output, right? It's very AI when it can check the output and see,…
