And it was discovered with an LLM by some “vibe coder” (please hold your nose while pronouncing) with curly blonde hair, empty blue eyes, a business degree, and horrible political opinions. In addition, he talks your ear off about the inevitable glorious agentic AI future and how nobody needs RAM and that all resources in the world should be used towards bringing this future to past, with his response to most arguments against him being something along the lines of “resistance is futile”.
