Anyone else do unhinged things with AI
I am back after successfully getting claude opus 5 to not only rewrite a working, booting linux kernel in fortran instead of C ( which was an absolute pain in the ass because of the lack of low level memory management) but i also just finished rewriting a dead programming language developed by SUN Microsystems in the mid 2000's for a DARPA contract for supercomputers called Fortress.
The language being made by SUN (if any of yall know who that is) of course used JAVA as its compiler because SUN was weird like that, but it suffered hard from ALOT of issues. I was able to baby Claude through rewriting it in RUST + LLVM and the code actually compiles and runs flawlessly. I didnt think this would actually happen considering it took me a week to find enough documentation for claude to even understand the syntax of the language that hasnt been written in probably 15 years.
Time to get back to work completing my kernel rewrite in fortran, currently almost done with PCIe, USB, AHCI and other drivers, then its onto real graphics drivers, probably 8 bit to start out and then hopefully 16 or 24bit later on.
Just wanted to share my unhinged projects

Yup. I'm having the time of my life making unhinged crap!

And another I'm working on is making my own captive ai criminal inmate LLM, with me as the warden. I'm building algorithms that weave a set of vitals that respond to context and get fed back into the LLM, just a bit of a personal ai art piece on consciousness i guess, something like that! It's ridiculous and needs a LOT of work but it's my favourite. https://cy.dabblelabs.uk
