This is getting close to a Ken Thompson "Trusting Trust" era -- AI could soon embed itself into the compilers themselves.
We're already starting to see people experimenting with applying AI towards register allocation and inlining heuristics. I think that many fields within a compiler are still ripe for experimentation.
Then i'll be left wondering why my program requires 512TB of RAM to open
Sorry, clang 26.0 requires an Nvidia B200 to run.
The asymmetry will be between the frontier AI's ability to create exploits vs find them.
A pay to use non-deterministic compiler. Sounds amazing, you should start.
