Yes, but why write C when we can let the LLM write assembly directly? Compilers are unnecessary bloat we don’t have a need for with modern technology.
yeah kid replace your systems with LLM written opcode streams completely all you want.
regarding the question: for maintain- and portability.
Putting aside assembly code gets compiled as well, the bottle neck is always validation of these systems. Making the systems more opaque makes the already difficult task of ensuring it works even harder.
Assembly code isn’t ”compiled”. To quote wikipedia:
My point is that people are already trying to replace compilers with LLMs, and yes, it is stupid as shit, but still real.
Also, maybe see if an LLM can help you detect sarcasm without explicit content tagging.
