Anthropic had 16 AI agents build a C compiler from scratch. 100k lines, compiles the Linux kernel, $20k, 2 weeks. To put that in perspective GCC took thousands of engineers over 37 years to build. (Granted from 1987 - however) One researcher and 16 AI agents just built a compiler that passes 99% of GCC's own torture test suite, compiles FFmpeg, Redis, PostgreSQL, QEMU and runs Doom. They say they "(mostly) walked away." But that "mostly" is doing heavy lifting. No human wrote code but the researcher constantly redesigned tests, built CI pipelines when agents broke each other's work, and created workarounds when all 16 agents got stuck on the same bug. The human role didn't disappear. It shifted from writing code to engineering the environment that lets AI write code. I don’t know how you could make the point AI is hitting a wall.

The beautiful white sand beaches on Lake Winnipeg feel like a missed opportunity. Like ocean beaches, with nothing similar for thousands of kilometers, they might be a destination from across the centre of the continent if developed with quality resorts and tourist amenities.

Those who support the policies that enable the abuse of children should be utterly shamed and shunned. Tell them so to their face and expel them from all social interactions.
