OK, what's stopping someone in a country that can both make the hardware chips and devices and use an LLM and just reverse engineer the chips and not do it publicly? FTDI had this happen with their USB to Serial chips did it not - before AI even was even usable. DisplayLink has been around for a long time; I'd almost wonder when the patents are due to expire (from some searching maybe 2028?) and all bets are off, China manufacturing will just clone it anyway from the patent.
