This is pretty incredibly - Fabrice Bellard builds stuff that just has such a wide spread impact - so cool that QuickJS enabled an old system like PS2 to have a bit of a homebrew revival through this AthenaEnv project

My photoshop skills are near zero, otherwise I'd have long gone and edited xkcd 2347 [1] to say next to the pillar "Something Fabrice Bellard probably implemented while half asleep just to prove he could do it".

There's a lot of FOSS projects that have something written by him in their dependency chain.

Why use an LLM to do something that would take exactly the same amount of time and a lot less energy to just do in something like MS paint?

I'd like to see metrics on that. But intuitively I'd say AI is faster.

Basically it's opening the tab and typing your thought vs speed running paint.

@sandermvanvliet what was the process and how long do you estimate it took you?

Personally it would take me awhile to find the template, the exact font and get the positioning just right.

I could make a crude one fast, and I've seen many crude versions of this meme. But matching the font is a bit more work, maybe there's a generator for it, but that's not paint nor do I know where it exists.

“Speed running paint”? You mean opening the image and dragging a text box over the existing text, changing the font to comic sans, and typing the text?

There are complicated workflows in Paint, this is not one of them.

> comic sans

It's not comic sans though, you've already failed.

Why have you failed though? Is the point to try to deceive people to think that XKCD actually published something else? Why not modify the xkcd one without hinding the fact that you modified it?
