Reverse compilation is 100% possible already. The only problem is how insanely difficult it is. It's also - reverse compilation - nondeterministic like compilation is. This is because of (not only this) for example loops could be many different sources of code, each of which would compile to the same result. This adds extreme difficulty for a human or even basic instructions to solve.
Reverse compilation has been done. I forget which old console system it was done for but a large group of people did and it was successful. Additionally many many games for older systems have been completely or near completely reverse compiled for things like emulation and, as odd as it sounds, speed running.
The point of contention here, the fear, is that an AI would be able to reverse compile something as large and valuable as an entire operating system, windows 11, osX, jewgle's android etc. The reason is one that's already well known, I hope. Viruses and 0days aren't created by malicious 3rd parties, they're created by the 1st party themselves, those who already have the keys to the proverbial castle. With a successfully revers compiled OS for example. That could be completely prevented, in addition all the (((nsa))) and (((cia))) backdoors could be removed while still offering what people actually wanted and with absolutely n o way for an outside party to determine a decompiled copy versus a standard copy.
Just my thoughts.
