"This is IP protection whack-a-mole on a scale I don’t think we’ve seen since the advent of pirated DVDs. I genuinely don’t know how you put the genie back in the bottle on something like this.

AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary.

That said, every now and then there's AI news that becomes impossible to ignore or act like it doesn't matter. This is especially one of those times. AI is now able to very quickly decompile video games and software, allowing them to easily get modified and enhanced and recompiled to all sorts of different systems.

And honestly? I have to admit - it's very cool. So many old, abandoned games are getting native ports to other platforms, enhanced with high FPS and running at dynamic native resolutions, with modding support. These type of enhancements usually aren't possible through an emulator.
