Oh, I recall seeing a post months ago about this LLM clean room approach being promoted as a service to "help remove license restrictions" on open source projects. They would deliver you a new chunk of code as a drop-in replacement for "restrictive license" existing code.
So now a similar approach is being taken to do the same for proprietary applications and games. Fucking hell this is so damn bleak.
Wasn't that website a bit? Not that it's hard to believe that this would exist (as a commercial service, we know people are doing this with coding agents).
Perhaps I ate the onion on that one, but it's still a legit and active issue despite the service being a farce.

I thought that was a joke though, wasn't it?
I clicked through to the site that was linked in the post, and it seemed pretty legit looking, but maybe it was a ruse. I can't recall the site/service name now though.
