They've been doing that for a decade. I think overall the balance will shift in our favor but Big AI labs will do everything they can to try and stop us.

Claude is quick to refuse to help with reverse engineering and I suspect it's only going to get worse over time.

Yes, they have been on that road for years. Tesla showed everyone the way with things like always-on connectivity or not being able to change a headlight with another original one without Tesla’s blessing. What I meant is that whatever I can do with an LLM they can do more. And if they can invoke “safety” that'll keep the law on their side for some time.

As far as I can tell no manufacturer disables the car yet when detecting modifications, or take drivers to court for doing it, yet.

That's true but we have the benefit of unlimited time, having physical control, the analog hole. > As far as I can tell no manufacturer disables the car yet when detecting modifications, or take drivers to court for doing it, yet. As far as I know cars are a special case in much of the world (US, EU, others?). Right to repair laws laws usually give you the right to use non-OEM parts. Aren't DMCA anti-circumvention provisions the bigger concern in the US? I think the EU has an exemption to allow reverse engineering for the purposes of interoperability and repair.
