Generate the VM, send it crafted PDFs to print, see what it produces, and build a driver. Not that “hard” even for a human, an AI could probably one-shot it.
Agreed.
I bought some cheap host-managed SATA drives the other day that the BIOS can't see and Windows won't recognize. I asked Claude to write a Windows app so I can use them, and it resisted at first, but then gave up and wrote it and they now work great.
It had to implement the entire stack of bare-metal drive functions over SATA and a whole new filesystem to go with it.
