> Hmm... looks like it's taking longer than normal. Check back in a minute or two!

Some simple wasm would work a treat here, no idea why this would be doing server side stuff.

Reads like one of those typical sycophantic feedback loops where AI convinced itself and the prompter they were uncovering something profound.

Galois factory, matter protocol... all just technical jargon slop that sounds fancy but carries basically no semantic meaning. The repo’s readme is even worse [0].

As the cherry on top it even closes out with an “it’s not just X, it’s Y.”
