I don't get it. tar is such a simple format you could do this in like 50 lines of C. Most of that would be declaring a struct. And unlike this implementation, it would be performant.

On the other hand, this could be a huge opportunity for Google. 1. Google already has their own internal equivalent of ChatGPT [1]. They haven't deployed it publicly yet, probably out of fear of bad PR. 2. Unlike search ads, which you
