I don't see why these claims are even being made. It's well known that a transformer could in theory (in practice implementation details prevent this) translate given all the data in, say, a nes cartridge translate it into a git repo on a linux machine that compiles for x86, or even just an elf x86-64 binary directly. Is the claim a general system exists? I'm extremely doubtful of that claim, but one that could do every published nes game to some current linux enviornment? Would definitely be easier than making something like current Claude.
