I tried multiple times and it hasn't worked for me in years. I tried again now and it seems it "sometimes" works. Specifically it seems that it works for some keywords and not others.

Arguing LLMs can't solve AGI by themselves is like arguing an ALU unit will never make a general purpose computer. Yes it's true, it takes more than an ALU to make a CPU and it takes more than an LLM to make _anything_. To gain an

Very nice, but my first thought was "surely this will not fit in 64k of ram!". And it doesn't. It requires a 16MB REU! To explain for the uninitiated how rare this bit of hardware is. The REU available for the c64 back in the
