It's crazy that in 2018 a cellular automata written in JS by a 12 year old was considered special (which it is) and today, nobody would even bat an eye because you can just vibe code this without effort.

Holy shit, thank you! FF-Shrine was phenomenal back then to find even the most obscure rearrangements of video game music. I know, that there has to be some backup archive of FF-Shrine, which I stumbled upon a few years ago, but unfortunate

This may be speculative, but couldn't robustness emerge by having a number of specialized models, that are interconnected and feed into each other? Are there any arguments from ML that would speak against this?
