  you could do that before. there was nothing stopping you, including the law. the fact that the vibe coded versions barely work at all is a testament to the fact that LLMs do not mean this is any easier now. the hard part isn’t decompiling the software.

  There are already version of debloated windows installs, like Windows X-Lite, btw.

  are any of these actual decompilations tho? my understanding is that to be a good decomp, it has to compile to the same binary as the original, that’s how you know your decomp is perfect. that’s what the infamous game decomps made before ai (mario 64, devilution, lego island…) did the ai-generated “decomps” aren’t even in the same language! both the ms office and photoshop ones are in rust!
