Regarding IBM's use of technology widely known for hallucinating to translate sensitive source code: it sounds weird you think the primary objective here is to deliver something that properly translates from one language to another. But it is not - the primary objective is to get money from customers and investors. Delivering something that works is secondary, and honestly, optional.

Many things in IT start making a whole lot more sense once you reexamine your beliefs about their purpose.

This has been IBM's M.O. ever since acquiring PwC Consulting in the early 2000s.

Even their downfall feels incredibly sluggish and geriatric.
