Vibe coders will ask the AI to write everything in Rust, memory usage will be reasonably low

The people writing everything in Electron are gonna have a fun time with their users though.

nah some dude got recently covered in press b/c he used an LLM to derive Assembly from C.

Huh? C compiles to machine code.

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.

yeah kid replace your systems with LLM written opcode streams completely all you want.

regarding the question: for maintain- and portability.

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
