Man I can't wait for tcc to be reposted for the 4th time this week with the license scrubbed and the comment of "The Latest AI just zero-shotted an entire C compiler in 5 minutes!"

I may have missed this. Do you have a link when AI verbatim copied tcc and it was publicized? I have my doubts.

There actually was an article like this from Anthropic the other day but instead of 5 minutes I think it was weeks and $20,000 worth of tokens. Don't have the link handy though.

I don't understand what you could possibly be talking about. Do you care to elaborate?
