Heck, when Satya Nadella wanted to demonstrate Copilot coding, he had it emit an Altair emulator. I guess there's little room for creativity in 8-bit emulator design so LLMs can handle them well. https://thenewstack.io/from-basic-to-vibes-microsofts-50-yea...
And said emulator was opensourced and tested by third parties, right ?
Until it's so, it's just hearsay to me by someone having a multi-billion horse in the race.
This is a good point. I wonder how much NES emulator code is in Claude's training set? Not to knock what the author has done here, but I wonder if this is more of a softball challenge than it looks.
Somewhere along the line the AI bros stopped separating training and testing sets. It's great for impressing the villagers
