I ported a linux game binary from a Cortex-A7 to a Allwinner A133P (32bit to 64bit) in about two hours using Claude over the weekend. (I didn't have the source). SDL and the games encryption were the only things that made it more than a 15 minute activity.

If it has a binary value you can aim the Ai at, (aka does it work or not), the models are able to figure it out.

For laughs I'm probably going to have a Qwen model on my Mac min with the Pi harness do the same task in a week or two.

There's no obscurity anymore. Best you can do is keep as much as possible server side. Curious if anyone has experimented with LLM's RE'ing obfuscated code. I suspect they handle it just fine.

Such a click-baity name. Open challenge to anyone to use this framework and reverse engineer the internal APIs iPhone uses to talk to Siri or shortcuts or app Intents.

Brilliant. Time to take on the outrageous MSI windows software / broken Linux support.

this is going to lead to a trend of all software running on vendor computers instead of users its the only viable way
