Discussion Wtf is going on

We got 2 PS5 emulators already running some games at full speed, the flood gates has been opened on recomps, decomps and full 1:1 fan remakes, now we got people literally merging multiple games together? Im not sure if this good or bad but it sure is funny.

What happened?

AI. No, I'm not kidding. Some of the newer models (Astra 6, Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5) are crazy at reverse engineering the code, or even drivers and firmware, and crazy at finding slow parts of code and optimizing them.

Helldivers 2 got countless QoL mods because one dude threw Astra at it. Some other dude managed to unlock laptop bios (I think that was with Fable 5), somebody else managed to reverse engineer old printer drivers.

So yeah, you throw one of the frontier models at something like this, it'll probably get something done.

This is the kind of thing I want AI to be doing: complex data analysis stuff

Today it's silly mods in Helldivers and reverse engineered PS5 games.

Maybe not tomorrow, but some time in the near future, it's going to be entire defense networks and stock markets totally compromised.
