This example demonstrates my point though. It requires an extremely unusual system configuration that may or may not even exist in the real world it is so unusual. AI doesnt get tired, like you said, but its not about spaghetti code (both musl and openssh are gold-standard opposite of spaghetti code), its about trying every possible software combination in ways a human wouldnt bother.

    You have to remember that the same AI agents finding the code are also able to exploit the code. So, if it's some extremely rare race condition requiring some convoluted pattern, it's still easy to exploit.

    When I stack dominoes in a line on the floor and I push one of them on the outside as it is in the shape of a snake... they fall down in a prdictable pattern. I never knew that would happen until I was shown the first time. This knowlege was past down via print made by humans scraped by bots. For what and for who? Louder faster and dumber.... on a foundation of jUsT gEt iT d0Ne... now you are fired. Loops, poops and dupes.
