#2Hopefully it can help do this on emscripten files too and help adblockers dechipher obfuscated code for that purpose

#4Anyone working on decompiler LLMs? Seems like we could render all code open source.
Training data would be easy to make in this case. Build tons of free GitHub code with various compilers and train on inverting compilation. This is a case where synthetic training data is appropriate and quite easy to generate.
You could train the decompiler to just invert compilation and the use existing larger code LLMs to do things like add comments.

Likewise for css class names

Unminifying isn't decompiling.
It's just renaming variable and functions and inserting line breaks.

#7Yet another surprising side effects of LLMs.

The potential implications of this are huge. Not just open sourcing, but imagine easily decompiling and modifying proprietary apps to fix bugs or add features. This could be a huge unlock, especially for long dead programs.
For legal reasons I bet this will become blocked behavior in major models.

No but it’s a baby brother of the same problem. Compiling is a much more complex transform but ultimately it is just a code transform.

#10Have used Claude to reverse engineer some minified shopify javascript code recently. Definitely handy for unpicking things.
