I did some small improvements and fixes on the circuit drifter.
- v1.1 now works on main cables, no more warnings
- I annotated even more nodes and branches
- There is a neat faked ambient occlusion effect
- I added the model of cute lil RC car I had 30 years ago
Play it here:

Ok so, 3 things:
1. Memory usage just increased, pretty sure I messed something in one of latest changes, a great night of coding ahead😅
2. Now the reproducing song's cover is displayed in the dock as the app icon
3. Thinking about starting a community for those who want to follow or discuss the project. Only if there’s real interest, though. Which platform? Say a name, whatever it is a forum or a chat or idk..

Are AI Slop Forks Killing Software?
AI가 오픈소스 소프트웨어 개발에 미치는 영향으로, AI가 생성한 'slop fork'가 급증하며 기존 오픈소스의 사회적 계약과 품질 관리 방식을 무너뜨리고 있다. AI가 코드 생성 비용을 극적으로 낮추면서 PR 제출은 쉬워졌지만, 리뷰 비용과 유지보수 부담은 유지관리자에게 집중되어 오픈소스 생태계에 큰 도전이 되고 있다. 이에 대응해 LLVM 등 주요 프로젝트는 인간 검증 정책을 도입하고 있으며, Builder와 같은 도구는 팀의 맥락을 이해하고 제약 조건을 반영하는 AI 코드 생성으로 문제를 완화하려 한다. 앞으로는 코드 자체보다 명세, 의도, 검증 체계가 소프트웨어 개발의 핵심이 될 전망이다.
