Fable 5 wrote a booting, NT-shaped kernel in Rust in 38 minutes. The code is impressive; the signal is what it tells us about AI-authored trust, and the verification frontier that decides whether the internet's critical infrastructure gets rewritten by models.
Even if it is unsupervised, its not doing it singlehandedly. AI cannot create new information. Its glorified autofill. Everything it outputs came from somewhere else. It’s not creating anything, it’s just remixing it.
It didn’t decide to do it by itself, but it did make the thing by itself. The ultra-anti AI crowd is going to deny it can happen, that it just copy pastes code, etc. They’re wrong, but they’ll keep doing it.
AI isn’t singlehandedly writing code though. Why are you holding human coders to a higher standard?
Oh, the blog here said AI did this unsupervised. I thought that meant it was able to do this by itself. On me.

Well it’s remixing Windows kernels in Rust.
My point still stands. I would be impressed if a human single-handedly made a Windows kernel in Rust.
Your point was that it was impressive that AI did it on its own in 38 minutes, something a human cannot do, even though its built on a false premise.
My point was, and I quote:
That’s what I just said, while adding that its built on a false premise.
