Some more info on that ' #AI coded C compiler':
> Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 spends $20K trying to write a C compiler. AI agents build something that mostly works but worries the project's creator. https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2026/02/09/claude_opus_46_compiler/
Twenty grand? That's two months of developer time. So maybe a *little* cheaper than hiring a coder. But not hugely cheaper and that's just the AI costs. Humans were still in the loop.
And what if they had to pay for the training data? They *stole* that.
