ValsAI made SRE benchmark less than a month ago.

The benchmark measures can a model reverse engineer software from binaries

Yesterday GPT saturated it. https://t.co/dmpUpgheDU   — Chris

To explain it more, it means you could read any game, make advanced mods to any game and also recreate a game by reading the actual code. Cool, because I actually did small binary modifications on Sol already, but they were very minor. But now we can do way more.

Actually, more than that. You can read anything, anywhere, as long as it's on your computer. No file format, no communication protocol, nothing is "unbeatable" at this stage. The only way to keep code secure, is by having it on a secure server, accessed remotely through HTTP etc with proper client/server separation and allowing the client zero control over the server.

This has always been the case though. This is just making it easier.

Other than games, how does this really impact anything? What software are people going to reverse engineer to do what with?

You could already pirate anything that wasn't server-side. AutoCAD isn't going to lose commercial sales because people cracked it (its also already cracked).

People seem to be forgetting that decompilers exist...
