It's well known among people who pay attention to these sorts of things, but a lot of otherwise well educated people seem to think that all of North Korea is a primitive backwater stuck in the 50s lacking any kind of technical sophistication.

The vast majority of the country (basically everything outside Pyongyang) is just that. But even in North Korea, the future is unevenly distributed.

They have some Math people and I wonder why the regime didn't use state of art AI in their attacks.

They surly has the potential but I don't see they are fully using it.
