@newt @phnt @lain @sun call me when it does something other than lander stolen GPL code. :senko_sleep:

I've been saying for a while these things only code good when what you are doing wasn't valuable to begin with.

Someone tried to send ChatGPT at me for some parsing tasks for Godot and it was like "have you tried pasting strings together" and it's like :neocat_gun:

I have learned the names of some algorithms from the bots though. Talking about architecture designs seems to be OK, which is incidentally a task that a very sophisticated search engine is the right solution for anyhow

@lain @icedquinn @phnt @sun @newt I just want to say while I am on lain's side on this one, there technically is no Claude-written compiler because in addition to using gcc as an "online oracle", i.e. test every output against gcc, they also used gcc's entire torture test suite.
That doesn't mean it's not interesting or we can't debate the merits but I think calling it a Claude-written compiler is a bit disingenuous in the first place.
You couldn't use this to write a compiler from scratch for something you need, you can still only use it to fill in the blanks between what very talented people already figured out.

@WandererUber @icedquinn @phnt @sun @newt okay, but i feel that this is going too far into the other direction. sure, having the test suite is a huge advantage. but if someone wrote a new fediverse server and tested it against mastodon's and pleroma's test suite, i wouldn't have said they didn't write a fediverse server.

either way i think this is, at some point, splitting hairs. we went from "this can't even code a simple website" to, "yeah it can compile a linux kernel but how hard is that, really?"
