Every cloud service will eventually get shut down. The problem is that nobody wants to put the effort into reverse engineering the product to fake out the cloud service until after the cloud service is gone and the reverse engineering is much more difficult.

Reverse engineer anything with agents, from app behavior down to native binaries - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50058850 - October 2026

Do we just need to establish bounties per cloud service target to reverse engineer and publish a spec, copyleft code, and reference architecture? Maybe https://www.fulu.org/ could host the results? Like OpenAI and Anthropic brute forcing math proofs, we can brute force interoperability (imho). Closed systems and tokens go in to the reverse engineering factory, out comes open systems that remain open to all.
