But, at least two people fed that AmigaOS archive into their LLM, and got back a functional decoder.
I have not looked at it. I will if plan A fails. But...
Where's the fun in that?
What's the use of honing skills if any datacenter, given enough energy can do the same without even having to *think* about the problem?
That happened the same day I stumbled upon at least three "I built a..." that no you didn't build it, you instructed a thing to do it.
That happened a few days after two different "built" an Apple II file manager, two-panes, with every bell and whistle.
I did an Apple II file manager last year. Manually. The LLMs took from it.
