Autonomously Decompiling a Childhood Game via SSH While at the Park

Well-known AI KOL @yacineMTB shared a remarkably sci-fi, real-world scenario: while spending time with his family at the park, he used his phone to SSH into his home server and watched an AI autonomously stream tokens to decompile a video game from his childhood.
The AI successfully extracted the look-up table for the character Marth's friction and automatically tested it against playback logs from Slippi (a replay tool for Super Smash Bros.) featuring diamond-level players. This kind of fully autonomous, complex coding and reverse-engineering capability offers an intuitive glimpse into the power of current AI agents.
