That's such a strawman conversation. Starting from:
> it's not a working compiler, though. And it doesn't matter how few hours it took, because it doesn't work. It's useless.
It works. It's not perfect, but anthropic claims to have successfully compiled and booted 3 different configurations with it. The blog post failed to reproduce one specific version on one specific architecture. I wish anthropic gave us more information about which kernel commits succeeded, but still. Compare this to years that it took for clang to compile the kernel, yet people were not calling that compiler useless.
If anyone thinks other compilers "just work", I invite them to start fixing packages that fail to build in nixos after every major compiler change, to get a dose of real world experience.
