Tried to use this to create a minimal bootloader and kernel that prints hello world in x86

There was never a point in which it successfully did anything.

1. Tried to use macOS’s toolchain (m2 laptop so this is not going to work to build x86 binary)

2. It tried to fix that and failed multiple times.

3. Eventually I gave up on it trying to fix itself and told it to just use a container with Fedora Linux on it to work around the issue.

4. It created Dockefile for Fedora 39 (current is 42)

3. It still fails to recognize that we are on aarch64 and we need x86 so the container it built was not correct anyway lol

I imagine “minimal bootloader + printing hello” is quite represented in the training set as there’s thousands of projects like this on GitHub.

If it cannot deal with basic things like this, I legitimately don’t get all the comments here praising it

You're using a slop tool and expect it to produce anything but slop?
