      low-level compilers can output very ugly-looking assembly. he probably did this and then used LLM to super-optimize it. may be perfomant, but id guess that theres a risk that its unsafe.

        Who cares about ugly-looking assembly ? No one’s gonna actually look at it, that’s, like, the whole point of C. And I really doubt the plagiarism machine can somehow do better than a compiler. I’m gonna look this up

        Edit : is it this one ? https://arxiv.org/html/2505.11480v1

        Yes, but why write C when we can let the LLM write assembly directly? Compilers are unnecessary bloat we don’t have a need for with modern technology.

          Putting aside assembly code gets compiled as well, the bottle neck is always validation of these systems. Making the systems more opaque makes the already difficult task of ensuring it works even harder.
