Actually that might be possible. Computers are already way better than humans at generating performant code, and drivers are straightforward enough that computers should be able to figure out what needs to be done.

I think code generating AI tech is heavily censored and suppressed because those in power are afraid that it could create something that could challenge thier dominance. Most software is so complicated it need to be collaborated on and they can keep tabs on it all through spying. They can't known what an AI is building.

Their time is running out. The corporate product usually gains the initial momentum but the open source alternative always wins out in the end. The biggest problem with open source projects initially is that everyone thinks free == crappy, so the only people interested are nerds who use Linux. But eventually it catches up.

You didn't learn from reddit?

Alternatives to mainstream subreddits exploded and every time that happend, they would either quarenteen the subreddit, ban it or take it over by replacing the moderators.

This kept on going until our "alternative subs" had helped grow reddit huge and they didn't need us anymore, and then they censored everything.

They will just take over the new tech like the parasites that they literally are

That's not how the software world has been going. I do worry about that happening at some point, but right now censorship is at least restricted to individual platforms. However I still think all the open source ones will end up dominating, because it ends up being in corporate interests to use them. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel.
