Cheap is a relative term. How many people would pay $5 to reverse engineer a device in their home?

There's no way to make a profit off reverse engineering home devices so I expect while this is likely to be one of the most groundbreaking impacts of LLMs, it won't see a ton of adoption until token costs come down.

Sounds like a businesses opportunity to do it at scale!

Send $20 pi zero that will reflash expensive camera, that is out of support. Or do mail business, with reflashing devices.

There are billions out of support devices, and rework is great industry in China. In US you sadly hit legal BS if doing it commercially...

I think its more a case of, when/if this kind of LLM can be run on a normal desktop then it'll become a big deal. But its also not the kind of work thats economically transformative at all
