   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.

            I am tempted to try it, but it would waste tokens that I need. I'm quite sure it'll do it one shot though.

               No, it’d do something perhaps similar, surely worse, and you’d justify your failure by saying “yeah but I just did xyz it would have blah blah”

               There’s 0 chance you one-shot this, especially with the prompt the other guy gave.

               Could you eventually make something analogous? Sure. Code will, sooner than later, be as cheap as ideas are. People should start to adjust to that reality now instead of trying to dismiss anything an LLM touched as slop.
