'Reverse-Engineer Anything' Is the New Wild West of AI

The companies won't give up their scams without a fight.

They'll double down with secure boot and encrypted everything.

I'm a big fan of the idea of gathering a few million dollars in donations for GPU hardware and building a job queue software factory for Apache Foundation and other non profit software custodians. Maximize hardware utilization, work your way through the value stack of replacing software with open replacements. This is a distributed computing problem fundamentally: jobs, queues, workers, staging and moving underlying data around (imho). In goes requirements, specs, context, etc, and out comes MIT licensed code for all to build on and extend. Similar for a reverse engineering factory.

I think this is going to kill fast-paced competitive gaming. The cheat scene is going to go bonkers, to the point where competitive games will require the server to become fully authoritative (i.e. tick-based server-heavy games like MMOs, or full on cloud streaming gaming). Neither are compatible with very fast paced games.
