Hello world does not compile

An AI-built C compiler tried to print “Hello from CCC!” and face-planted on the simplest test, choking on missing system files like “stddef.h.” Cue instant internet theater: one poster quipped “$20K down the drain, lol,” while others insisted this is a nothingburger—you just have to point the tool to the right folder of standard files. In plain English: the machine didn’t know where the kitchen utensils were, not that it couldn’t cook. The thread erupted with takes. Some blamed the driver—the part that launches the compiler—for not telling it where to find the system’s C library. Others rolled their eyes at the pile-on, saying the GitHub issue was more spam than substance and that it works if you add the correct include path, with folks linking confirmations and fixes here. Meanwhile, the meme squad turned “Hello from CCC!” into “Hello from 404.h,” and a commenter confessed they’ve shipped examples they “didn’t actually test,” asking if the AI feels embarrassment too. On the flamey side, a pro-AI voice declared the anti-AI crowd exposed themselves because it was user error, boasting that newer models are “superior to most programmers.” As for the quiet good news: someone noted Compiler Explorer already vibes with CCC. But yeah—the drama stole the show.
