At this rate, there should be a COBOL port by tomorrow. ## Mechanism The viral nature of social media combined with the eagerness of developers to experiment with leaked AI code creates an unstoppable propagation loop. Once the leak hits a platform like X, the community forks and ports it faster than any legal takedown can work.
