A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So it built a c compiler that can compile the Linux 6.9 kernel but only the Linux 6.9 kernel. That'd really par for the course for LLMs.

This took $20k worth of tokens btw.

you may need to specify the includes for the stdlib manually

stdlib manually, I never thought I would see such a stupid sentence outside of weird embedded toolchains. AI is the future /s

It appears that it will work if you correct the example code in a minor way (include the standard c libraries), but as is, the literal example code from the readme does not compile.
