Claude did not wrote it. you wrote it with PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE with 20.000 long commandshyellihg him exactly what to do.
Real usable AI would create it with simple: 'make c compilers c99 faster than GCC'.
AI usage should be banned in general. It takes jobs faster than creating new ones ..
That's actually pretty funny. They're patting it on the back for using, in all likelihood, some significant portions of code that they actually wrote, which was stolen from them without attribution so that it could be used as part of a very expensive parlour trick.
Did you do diffs to confirm the code as stolen or are you just speculating.

I don't have an strong opinion about that in either direction, but curious: Do you feel the same about everything, or is just about this specific technology? For example, should the nail gun have been forbidden if it was invented today, as one person with a nail gun could probably replace 3-4 people with normal "manual" hammers?
You feel the same about programmers who are automating others out of work without the use of AI too?

You think compiler engineer from Google gives a single shit about this?
They’ll automate millions out of career existence for their amusement while cashing out stock money and retiring early comfortably.

I have no problems with tech making some jobs obsolete, that's normal. The problem is, the job being done with the current generation of LLMs are, at least for now, mostly of inferior quality.
The tools themselves are quite useful as helpers in several domains if used wisely though.
Businesses do not exist to create jobs; jobs are a byproduct.
Even that is underselling it; jobs are a necessary evil that should be minimised. If we can have more stuff with fewer people needing to spend their lives providing it, why would we NOT want that?
Because we've built a system where if you don't have a job, you die.

Jobs are a means, not a goal.
Jobs are the only way that you survive in this society (food, shelter). Look how we treat unhoused people without jobs. AI is taking jobs away and that is putting people's survival at risk.
