    &gt; The author was banned from Asahi Linux for hiding his extensive use of LLMs from us in another attempted contribution, and (more importantly) for concealing that he is a former Apple engineer with direct contacts to the people involved in Apple Silicon development. Make of this what you will.

      I find it extremely ironic that big corp openly steals IP en masse to build their models but hackers are still concerned about using same models for their reverse engineering work.

      I think at this point the hacking community needs to grow some balls.

        Excited to see what you contribute to open source against one of the richest and most litigious companies in the world.

          Cool. Excited to see you on the pitch next time you comment on a football game.

          Nothing. I hope those companies go bankrupt, I&#x27;m not underwriting their failure to support their customers with my time and effort.
