Anthropic, OpenAI crack down on AI-powered reverse engineering
anthropic and openai are limiting user accounts for using claude and codex to reverse-engineer devices, affecting hobbyists and security researchers. this shift may drive ai-powered reverse engineering towards open-source models.
users of anthropic's claude and openai's codex for ai-powered reverse engineering are facing 'safety checks' and account restrictions. a reddit post and discord thread reveal multiple users have been blocked or warned. this trend may drive the practice towards open-source models as big ai companies prioritize protecting hardware manufacturers' interests. openai engineer tarun gogineni tweeted that account blocks are accidental and being addressed.
