   OHH my god this is soo awesome, I wonder how people build such things.

      They opened their AI agent and typed "make me a 16-bit computer built from NAND gates" and hit enter.

         Go ahead and paste that into your coding harness of choice and see if you get this out.

            Yes, the secret ingredient of these kinds of AI projects is being rich and spending an ungodly amount of money on it.

            I kinda get it as a tech demo, but projects like this leave a bad taste in my mouth because I'm not sure what they're really supposed to accomplish for the author or the community. It's probably not something the person was genuinely interested in, it has no commercial or educational value, so it just... sucks the air out of a hobby? There are quite a few people who designed and built their own computers from discrete gates, and we're sharing this page instead.
