You should check out HLS and DASH. If you're already familiar and you're not using them because they don't meet your requirements, then apologies for the foolish recommendation. If not, this could solve your problem.
They're probably going to do an aerial insertion via helicopter (Ospreys technically), which doesn't require transiting Hormuz. These big amphibious assault ships are built for both maritime and aerial insertions.
You're right, you are using it wrong. An LLM can read code faster than you can, write code faster than you can, and knows more things than you do. By "you" I mean you, me, and anyone with a biological brain.
Where LLMs are behind humans is depth of insight. Doing anything non-trivial requires insight.
The key to effectively using LLMs is to provide the insight yourself, then let the LLM do the grunt work. Kind of like paint by numbers. In your case, I would recommend some combination of defining the API of the library you want yourself manually, thinking through how you would implement it and writing down the broad strokes of the process for the LLM, and collecting reference materials like a format spec, any docs, the code that's creating these packets, and so on.

I don't agree. It can't write code at all, it can only copy things it's already seen. But, if that is true, why can't it solve my problem?

Okay, so how do I do that? Remember, I want to do ZERO TYPING. I do not want to type a single character that is not code. I already know what I want the code to do, I just want it typed in.
I just don't think AI can ever solve a problem I have.
You're intentionally missing the point. Every time a bomb drops we're rolling the dice. Hits on civilian targets are inevitable, just like bugs are inevitable. The only solution is not to go to war at all. Don't blame the person who dropped the bomb, blame the people who ordered the bombs to be dropped.
There's a hell of a difference between "we don't like your terms so we're going to use a different supplier" and "we don't like your terms, so we're going to use the power of the federal government to compel you to change them". The president is the commander-in-chief of the military, but Anthropic is not part of the military! Outside serving the public interest in a crisis, the president has no right to compel Anthropic to do anything. We are clearly not in a crisis, much less a crisis that demands kill bots and domestic surveillance. This is clear overreach, and claiming a constitutional justification is mockery.
I'd encourage you to look up the Defense Production Act. Its powers are probably broad enough that the President could unilaterally force Anthropic to do this whether or not it wants to. It's the same logic that would allow him to force an auto manufacturer to produce tanks. And the law doesn't care whether we are in a crisis or not. It's enough that he determine (on his own) that this action is "necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense."
However, it looks like Trump isn't going to go that route-- they're just going to add Anthropic to a no-buy list, and use a different AI provider.
Ok? And? Trump could use the DPA to force Ford to make tanks in a war, just like how Trump could use the DPA to force Anthropic to make AI in a war. Are we in a war? No. We are not in a crisis.
Yes. "Show Code", not "Show CPU cycles". There's a difference. Writing code is not the same as running code. It looks to you like it ran the code. But you have no proof that it did. I've seen many times LLM systems from companies that claimed that their LLMs would run code and return the output claiming that they ran some code and returned the output but the output was not what the shown code actually produced when run.
In my experience, models do not tend to write their own HTML output. They tend to output something like Markdown, or a modified version of it, and they wouldn't be able to write their own HTML that the browser would parse as such.
What, in your view, does sending one markup language instead of another markup language tell you about whether the back-end executed some code or only pretended to?
The front-end display is a representation of what the back-end sends it. Saying "but the back-end doesn't send HTML" is as meaningless as saying that about literally any other SPA website that builds its display from API requests that respond with JSON.
You cannot know that anything it shows you was generated by executing the code and isn't merely a simulacrum of execution output. That includes images.
