Been done before - fact is, end user will always have the power, because they have physical control over the machine. Any code that executes, they can modify - this includes firmware code - and all of it is open for disassembly and inspection.
I'm sure your x-algo asic kernels can be scrutinized in very much the same way.

jk.. Or am I ?...

In both senarios, we the general public can only imagine who has that code and what their intentions are.
EDIT
And.. how powerful it really is.
They can indeed. If you can grok AMD ISA code for GCN, you can do that. And the code is pretty decent - I wouldn't call it excellent or anything, nowhere near - but it's far better than the copy+paste of CPU code done by people who barely knew what a GPU is.
No offence but..

He's a well-known troll, but I'm kinda surprised SUP is attracting the scum before it even launches!
When that fails, the person is labelled a conspiracy nut, as you have done with me on at least a few occaisions.
Well, let's throw out all the stuff you've said about conspiracies and such, and just highlight one thing: You post a lot, but when's the last time you posted something positive? When's the last time you supported something, instead of trying to tear it down?
These were my exact thoughts as I see hippie post on many different threads & it's all negative things, I am wondering if his account has been bought...now that would be a "conspiracy theory" lol
The truth or the process of getting there, is always negative to those who can not stand in its light.
About a month or two ago, I became curious about what my account might be worth and for a few hours, considered selling it.
Then suddenly Satoshi appeared on my (blank) screensaver and said, "
