Tripredacus Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 You have to understand that closed source is dead, but this is not a well known fact yet. Basically, there are LLMs that can reverse engineer* compiled binaries which means nothing is secret anymore. The only way for legacy corps to keep their stranglehold on things is to make a move to remove the openess of source, at least in a legal definition sort of way. *either decompilation or re-writing disassembly to another language 1

Take AV1 codec, it's royalty free and squeezes out the commercial H265/H264. And it's bad news for the developers' salaries, actually! I mean, this whole shift. 3
UCyborg Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 (edited) Decompilers won't give you the comments or meaningful variable names. Then there's the structure of the code tree and how code is split up. Certain optimizations can also change code in some ways, so again, you're getting back something different than what was originally written by the programmer. Edited June 27, 2024 by UCyborg 1

Dixel Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 I'm against Open Source in the current form/state. The quality dropped down significantly. People just need to be paid! For example, MPC-HC. It's not what it used to be, polished and versatile. 3

The purpose of doing such work isn't to get back to the original source, but rather to be able to have a copy of the program that can be changed. 2

Took some time to dive deeper in AV1, and it sucks. they don't bring anything new to the table, the codec lacks the depth of the famous H265 8bit,
