I try to add something to the understand.

Especially in old games, the program code (what happens if you press a button, what happen if your health bar goes to zero…) is often handled in the same memory structure as the game data (sprites, your entered player name, you inventory…) If you glitch a function that should edit a memory block of game data (e.g. reduce the players money or rename a Pokémon) to do it’s operation on a program code block instead, you can reprogram the game while you are playing it and even make it a different game.

A different famous example is Super Mario Land. If you glitch trough the level borders the game is displaying all kind of data (game data and program code) as level blocks that you can walk on. Some of those level blocks are distructable, which is setting this memory block to a different value. By carefully destructing the correct blocks, you can change things like how many life’s you have. But if you hit a wrong block, the game will potentially crash because you changed the program code to something that doesn’t make sense.

Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)

No one can exit vim. It’s simply not possible.

There are even legends that the devil himself was onced tricked into opening vim and is stuck there since.

Please, someone make a movie out of it!

The difference between AI and Coder:

The Coder fixes it’s errors. AI is just pretending everything would just run fine.

Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me… I see water availability different since.

I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…
