Cheeky, I love it.

Got correct code first try. Failed creating working docker first try. Second try worked.

tmp="$(mktemp)"; cat >"$tmp" <<'MBEOF'
('&%:9]!~}|z2Vxwv-,POqponl$Hjig%eB@@>}=<M:9wv6WsU2T|nm-,jcL(I&%$#"
`CB]V?Tx<uVtT`Rpo3NlF.Jh++FdbCBA@?]!~|4XzyTT43Qsqq(Lnmkj"Fhg${z@>
MBEOF
docker run --rm -v "$tmp":/code/hello.mb:ro esolang/malbolge malbolge /code/hello.mb; rm "$tmp"

Output: Hello World!

I'm actually slightly impressed it got both a working program, and a different one than Wikipedia. The Wikipedia one prints "Hello, world."

I guess there must be another program floating around the web with "Hello World!", since there's no chance the LLM figured it out on its own (it kinda requires specialized algorithms to do anything)

I’d never even heard of that language, so it was fun to play with.

Definitely agree that the LLM didn’t actually figure anything out, but at least it’s not completely useless

Why the fuck does this language exist lol
