Anthropic's AI‑built C compiler is not all that impressive (www.theregister.com)

I'm willing to be impressed by AI products, but Anthropic's AI‑built C compiler leaves me a bit cold. It's little more than a clever demo. It is not the moment when software engineering as we know it flips over and dies. Not even close.

Anthropic proudly claimed its team of 16 Claude Opus 4.6 agents had written a Rust-based C compiler from scratch without any access to the internet. Really? That's meant to impress me? Sure, as Anthropic claims, the AI-created C compiler can compile this, that, and the other thing. Yes, even Doom. But so what?
