Yeah seeing GOSUB and no line numbers was an instant warning light.

Having experienced LLM driven gamedev, I watch the movement with utter disdain. I recommend you to do the same, to actually play the products of such endeavor that you bought with your own money, for more than a dozen minutes.

That's a whole another discussion though. You're bringing in manufacturing to the hypothetical, where it wasn't there before.

> Fluxer is the first Discord competitor that when you show to someone they can't say "well Discord does X better", and it was largely made using AI.

Didn't know that before, but considering its abysmal failures to scale, yeah in hindsight it does make a lot of sense. (one of) My group(s) tried to move and we came back to Discord rather quickly.

That analogy is rather poor. Woodworking produces discrete, unique, and physical objects, that can be made, and found use for, as many times as the craftsman wishes. Once you discover a law of physics, you can't discover it again, and it's not yours to do with as you please.

16 MHz? Where the heck did the OP pull that number from? Is that a hallucination?

I ran it on 7 MHz 68k, and the PC port ran on an 8088 IIRC, slower still. Hell, the cover OP used for the post reads "XT/AT/PS2 compatibles".

I'm on the other hand reminded of a certain Lem sub-story from A Perfect Vacuum, which was about geniuses whose discoveries were too divorced from the mainstream to be useful / worth following upon.
