>>108188988ask it to write a rust macro that generates another rust macro using $$ macro metavars.this is a trivial task, if one with not much training data. i can teach a human (maybe not /g/eets) to do it in a couple of minutes.
>>108188765>YOU WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A STAGNANT CATALOG, LUDDITE?Yes, spam and clutter is bad, kpop and AI need their own boards and need to be banned everywhere else. If pony didn't get their own board they would clutter every board.

>>108188907>which of the approx 5000 gameboy emulators on github did it copy?There's a comment that says "// Request joypad interrupt on button press" so I searched for it on GitHub and found four matchesThis one is from 4 years ago:https://github.com/craigls/dmg.js/blob/master/src/joypad.js#L36These are all from the last 6 months and one of them has Copilot as a committer:https://github.com/merenut/BlazorBoy/blob/main/docs/InterruptController.md?plain=1#L118https://github.com/akelsh/mono-gb/blob/main/src/joypad/joypad.cpp#L23https://github.com/zyc9012/tatoemu/blob/main/emulators/gb/joypad.cpp#L70It's not literally copy/pasting from a single project but you can tell that they're regurgitating from specific gameboy emulators and not figuring it out from scratch

>>108188556Why would it count? Gameboy emulators already exist and this no doubt bases off the existing codebases and documentation.This is as impressive as a fork. Like yeah it works, but what point are you trying to make? That it can recreate existing software referencing existing solutions or that it can create new software that solved new problems.I guess my question is, in what way does this count for you personally? Because to me this doesn't count.

Can you ask Claude to create a dungeon generator for me?
>>108188595a lot of development as far as I could tell was just devs copying and pasting existing code jury rigging ittogether and then spending years debugging the Frankenstein like code . to me using a.i. to code is more or less the same thing .
>>108188556Can you prove it didn't just copy/paste the code? Because they have a tendency to do just that.Tried using them to work with more niche frameworks and libraries and it was far more hit and miss.

>>108188556Look, I can also download an existing codebase and change the name in under 5 minutes, but I don't claim I've coded my own emulator if I do that.

>>108193049Learning something and then practicing and synthesizing is one thing. Copying somebody else's work is another.

Then why do you act like it's so impressive when an LLM does?
Looking at the PPU code, it doesn't look accurate in how it is handling and switching modes.I'll test it later.

>>108193301Because we're in that part of the 90s where everyone's obsessed with the word "cyber".
Ok, for starters the sound has issues and it is dropping frames.Saving doesn't work.
>>108194408Sound is definitely slow.Sprites at the top of the window get cut off as well.

>>108194497Oak getting cut off.
I think I'll stop testing there.The game speed seems about right while audio is slow and frames are dropped.Sound has mixing problems.Sprites are not rendered properly at the top of the window.Saving (at least permanently) doesn't work.There may be more issues, but I'm not going to play through a whole game.We can see from the dmg-acid2 test that the PPU emulation is not good at all.
How about using AI to actually make new fun games? With good gameplay?
>>108194698There hasn't been a good game made since 2011.
>>108188462Can you ask it to code an Xbox emulator?I always wanted to play Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and with xemu I get like 5fps, I'm sure your super advanced AI can do better, right?
>>108194718You're probably not serious but AI has never made any complex software end to end that was better than the original.
>>108194753I'm completely serious, I know op WILL deliver. He claims that his AI is better than all human developers, so I'm sure making a 24 year old game playable shouldn't be a problem.In fact, I think I'll post this request in all the threads he makes every day, in case he misses my post accidentally. I'm sure he'll be glad to have an opportunity to show how fantastic his AI is.
>>108188765holy shit how did he do that

>>108194812He's the smartest man on Earth, don't try to do it yourself or you'll only look like an absolute fool.
>>108191391You completely missed the point.He was pointing out that he asked the LLM to copy-paste a GameBoy emulator, and the LLM took 5 full minutes to do it, and it apparently doesn't even work right.
>>108193301What LLMs do is take little parts from a million sources to make something new (if prompted that way). The parts are not new, but it doesn't matter as long as the indian in bangalore running the llm can get the product running faster and cheaper than the latte slurping bay area fag, which isn't that hard due to the pay difference.
>>108194698AI is already being used to make parts of games, both art and code. The studios just don't talk about it cause their customer base crashes out over it every time.
>>108194862If I write Romeo and Juliet out of pieces of Romeo and Juliet, it isn't some special feat. Why is it somehow more impressive for an AI to make a Gameboy emulator out of pieces of a Gameboy emulator, but now with more bugs?
To be fair, emulating old hardware like the GB accurately is really hard, often the different hardware revisions also had their own quirks that developers had to work around, even writing code that detected the hardware revision and doing different things based on it at times.Most of the toy emulators that people write for GB and NES don't try to go for proper accuracy, and that still lets them run most games fine. But OP decided to be a faggot and not test his vibe coded emulator at all before calling it perfect, so he gets to be called the faggot that he is.
>>108188462Ask it to make a Pokémon game that never existed
>>108192586where is your gameboy emulator?
>>108188988ask it to create a NOVEL new programming language, say one designed for LLMs to use that is particularly token-efficient. ask it to write the full spec for that language. ask it to write a compiler based solely off the spec . ask it to write a program in that language and try and compile and run it.

Pretty much the same exact thing we already have now with gits and pooplovers. I'm not sure what this does except provide shitty code to people who don't know any better, but hey man, what can I say, I guess I'm just an out of work graphic designer bc I talked shit about your "shittier github" thing?

>could it actually make it?It can't.This whole thing, AI as a whole is just one fancy party trick, but at the end of the day it's just "One-Trick".Without even wasting my time to try and sign up for Claude, I guarantee it will likely use all kinds of mumbo-jumbo Hollywood-tier "thinking" outputting its internal "thoughts" of Generating scary world, Upping the Stakes, Creating Monsters, Putting it all together...."Ok! Here is the source code and build docs, blah blah. Do you want me to make it even MORE scary!!??? Prepare yourself!!"And meanwhile the game doesn't even have anything at all that is worthwhile or is just ripped from existing games and nothing original.You point it out and then it says "Oh, you are completely right!!! Here I will generate the REAL scary game!!!!" "Generating even more terrifying, tantalizing blood gushing gore, preparing more screams".... "OK here you go!! Please let me know if you need us to also include a super scary jumpscare scene, just say the word!!! :sparkle emoji: :skull emoji: :monster emoji:AI is the same old tired song and dance and One Trick.That's all it ever does.This shit is so fucking stale and lame.
>>108189593Pretty much. It can recite the entire books of Harry Potter with 96% accuracy but heaven forbid it recalls a Taylor Swift song.
>>108200747>>108189593>>108189479When people started uploading slopped music on jewtube like 2 years ago, the mpaa jews went nuclear on altman, jewgle, etc. That's why llms bend over backwards before reciting any lyric. They pirated entire catalogues of books from sites like bibliotik and no one said shit until some publishers sued them cause of a whistleblower even though it was pretty evident before that, the lawsuits are stuck in limbo as you'd imagine.
>>108200860Slop music is continuing to be uploaded to Youtube without end.
>>108200903Yeah they totally failed there, but their arrogance and hubris knows no end.
>>108192250Yep.AI is only savior that Linux will ever have since all Linux developers (90% Troons) can't do shit.
>>108192250>>108200933Can AI actually do that though? If you tell it to patch GTK2 and GTK3's file picker with thumbnail and list views will it just do that in 5 minutes?I wonder if the patch would even apply? I've had Claude code me things that don't even apply properly with patch or git.
>>108188595It's the only song I like.
>>108200946Yep that's why i said will ever have because there is still possibility that they might develop a AGI which would actually solve all the Linux problems but it ain't going to happen. Troons will keep fighting and kicking their main contributors to any useful project and those projects will die eventually without contributors.

>>108210124I'm on my second day, though I probably need to get/make some kind of test program to validate all the instructions because it might be a bitch to debug straight into games.>>108210096These tests are things that will affect games depending on various techniques being used.

>>108210546>He said too muchThey know the same as everyone else exactly how it works but turn a blind eye.
I have four non $CB instructions left.
>>108188462>in 5 minutesyou paid $50 for a git clone command, why are you proud of yourself?
>>108210546to be honest if ai slop puts an end to the copyright meme it might be the only good thing it does
>>108188988Emacs with multithreading
>>108188462hey OP any chance you could ask your """""AI""""" for a switch 2 hack? I'm sure the folks at >>>/vg/hbg would appreciate it
>>108211451It won't though. There will just be a bunch of special exemptions that apply to them but not to you.
>>108211490well, i'll make sure to seed even more in any case
Tell Claude to make a fully working Namco Playdia emulator that can run its ROMs, that are archived on Internet Archive
>>108212411>Namco PlaydiaBandai*
A whole load of bugs fixed already in my assembly sm83 emulator. I really need to properly do memory mapping/translation and do all the $CB prefix instructions to keep testing, but it is looking good.
>>108211458Why? It's a fucking text editor. I'm going to type multiple files at the same time with multiple keyboards? Retarded idea.

>>108210124nta but interpeters written in assembly, and by extension emulators, are faster than interpreters written in C. It takes almost no skill to beat optimizing compilers at this, they are bad at this. This is why LuaJIT's bytecode interpreter is written in assembly.
