AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up

Here's my constant question:
Everyone's going so fast that they keep hitting walls. Review, CI, product asking for things, whatever.
Why have we not seen an improvements in products?
While every post and thread feels like a 90's wall street office, the new android and iphone ship with fewer features than usual. No indie guys come up with a linux-sized alternative OS. Switch 2 remains unhacked. Windows takes 3 seconds to show the right click menu.
Is everyone just running full speed in circles or something?

  Switch 2 has real security features and a competent security architecture, and AI can't work miracles and find bugs where none exist.
  AI makes mincemeat of something like Sony cameras, which only have security-through-obscurity. I started my project a week or so ago and I have all the decryption keys I could wish for, and bootrom code execution: <a href="https://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/ILCE-7M4-RE/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/ILCE-7M4-RE/ (Some of the code is hand-written, but only for my own edification)
  I haven't even been using Ghidra, I just let the LLM use objdump and python capstone, and it figures it all out for itself.
