I think this shows something more important: we are not hardware limited. There's no reason someone could not have implemented this 40 years ago. Our hardware is way beyond our research.
I didn't know how to create a general intelligence, but however it's done will probably be something an undergrad could implement in a week using a desktop computer in 2024.

So while the model runs on Commodore 64 as advertised, a modern PC was still needed to get this up and running to begin with.
