Amjad Masad predicts AI reverse engineering will make most software de facto open-source

Replit CEO Amjad Masad says on X that AI-powered reverse engineering and decompilation are progressing rapidly and that soon all software will be de facto open-source.

He presents this as part of a broader claim that AI is reaching everything.

The post is a prediction. It names no tool, study, or deployment showing that software has been opened up this way. A separate X post from Orange AI says AI-driven reverse engineering is spreading quietly without much attention yet, and predicts it will either stay quiet or become a major event that changes industry rules. That post also cites no evidence.
