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 don't really know, but finding the right font family might take more time than the LLM
