Definitely thought this was a 16b parameter llm, not a 16 byte demo.

I'm really impressed. Those are the things that made me love programming and computing. It's all so beautiful, it's TRULY art. It's a shame that in the industry we don't usually have the opportunities to make something like that, with AIs and all that...

I swear watching this kind of projects occasionally is the only thing keeping me from dropping tech and going to work as a mailman or something.

i can barely accept this is possible

There are only 2^128 of such demos. How much of those are valid DOS programs? If we narrow it down to ones that generate both video and sound, I guess there are much less, which should motivate more people to try and find one :)

Makes me wonder how many bytes the shortest possible Mandelbrot implementation would need.

I did NOT expect this 16 bytes demo to also have sound! What an outstanding piece of art.

16 bytes equals immediate “black magic” and “it’s a witch”. I get it in the abstract - generative art and CAs and fractals have infinite depth. But this is madness. I love it so much

that's crazy. level to which i'm striving haha

love the sign "This text is handwritten" at the bottom, that's awesome

This is absolutely obscene. I am floored. Sweet hack.
This sent me on a one hour long rabbit hole that ended with two guys building a Sierpinski triangle with recursive PowerPoint presentations

Some other time, I really thought that a 32 byte demo I saw is the limit of how small the binary can get and still look good.
That other demo didn't even have sound.
This is hell of a good work. A masterpiece to retire after. (or more realistically, chase it on other architectures)
One of the linked demos, "rainbow surf", got me hypnotized. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKLhH_ANwIc

But big model is really better
