    Years ago, there was some weird glitch on the NSA's software where it wouldn't work without one particular American-made GPU part, but they just kept it in without bothering to look at it, because the two manufacturers are already American anyways? But then it becomes a problem when China puts their hat in the ring, and there's so much spaghetti code they can't possibly find the source of the problem. Lathing it.

      This is the real reason they're putting so much into AI, to clean up their sloppy spaghetti code

        This is actually real in graphics programming for video games right now. Studios are just relying on AI upscaling and frame generation so they can cut time and money on actual optimization.

        inshallah

        Using AI to refactor a complicated code base would be the funniest shit ever
