Is this in response to that new "reverse engineer anything" tool from the people that reverse engineered the Adobe suite?

of course. anyone who thinks AI can be used as a tool for independence is deluding themselves
anyone who thinks AI can be used by us commoners for much longer is deluding themselves. it is so obvious that these big LLM companies want to capture the market by making everyone dependent and then crank prices way up.
Another reason not to use a closed models
I'm hopeful this is positive, they'll start loosing a lot more to Chinese models and I can assure you local models will blow up too.
Don't worry! Its STILL okay to reverse engineer the work of photographers artists writers actors voice over musicians modelers animators academics etc etc (feel free to add. the exploitation is literally everywhere!)
Only if you're a corporation! If you're a filthy worker then you have no rights.
So this is how these companies are going to safeguard against IP theft lawsuits! Leave our theft be, or we'll tell everyone how to get in.
Also it's incredibly telling how Anthropic doesn't add code to stop suicide ideation in teens (what they are their ilk are being sued for) but can somehow very quickly stop reverse engineering. A tool that values the captial holders through & through. Their "democratization of intelligence" schtick is obvious now.
OpenSource frontier models ASAP! Obviously never gonna happen, but a fool can dream atleast.
It's not ok when the commoners get some power back huh. What a shame, I've been loving playing my favorite console fps games as a kid, now with keyboard and mouse support.
More power and value to the open weight models, cool
The task Large Language Models are best at is pattern correlation. Out of all the possible applications, reverse-engineering seems the most reasonable use case to me.
But figuring out how stuff works is the exact opposite of what they want vibe coders to do: Don't think, don't train your own skills, just trust the machine. And if it doesn't work, just prompt again and keep wasting more tokens, pushing the usage metrics to convince investors they're constantly growing, burning the planet and your company's money.
Man, the one thing I was interested in, the decompiling of abandoned software to get old games and software back, is being limited.
It's like watching the Nazi party ban the rape of Jewish women in 1944
When it hurts jobs, AI is the future, when it hurts rich friends needs moderation.

But it can still do it. Just not for us.
sounds like adobe made some calls.
"AI is going to make everything free!!" Proceeds to make video games free. "No, not that, shut it down!"
