That's the bit that's going to be nasty in evidence. 'So you didn't have any reverse engineering in your training or testing sets?'

Reverse engineering skill is just a byproduct of programming skill. They go hand in hand.

Yes.

Which is going to be hard to explain to a judge and jury, if it comes to that, how despite investing time, money, and effort (and no doubt test cases) into making a model better at reverse engineering... they shouldn't be liable when that model is used for reverse engineering.

Afaik, liability typically turns on intentional development of a product capability.

And there's no way in hell I'd take a bet against the frontier labs having reverse engineering training data, validation / test cases, and internal communications specifically talking about reverse engineering.
