No. But they could soon be unwitting hosts to self-replicating AI models that spread from device to device and prove remarkably difficult to contain. Welcome to the unsettling world of AI worms, where, […]

GBFC stands for General BrainFuck Compiler.

You can see other benchmarks in the Github repo (README) and run them yourself. I’ve also implemented peval (evaluation during the compilation phase up to the first ‘,’), which increases compilation time but allows the program to run much faster (this can be disabled or limited) The project is written in Rust;…
