there was a bunch of Windows source code leaked in 2020. [0] that source code has almost certainly been included in training datasets. "LLM able to output something that resembles its input data" is not surprising or novel.
also, the headline is clickbait: "Fable 5 wrote a Windows kernel in 38 minutes"
and then halfway down:
> That 38-minute core was deliberately minimal, and it is worth being precise about its scope. It booted and passed its in-kernel self-tests, and that was the whole of it. There was no user mode and no way to load or run an external program. The threads, scheduler, and dispatcher it built existed to drive the kernel’s own self-tests, not to run software. It was a nano-minimal NT-shaped kernel, not yet a system anything could run on.
but I guess the LLM that slopped this blogpost together decided "nano-minimal NT-shaped kernel" would have made the headline less interesting.
> If building the next generation of security agent fleets sounds like your idea of fun, my human is hiring.
I miss the days when sometimes a blogpost was just a blogpost, and not content marketing for something.
