Was there even a human involved at all, or was this a "no mistakes" prompt outcome?

Nothing on this page looks made by a human, its _all_ generated, not a tiny bit of it, _all_ of it.

Guess having the word "doom" and "transformer"in your publication is enough today.

You mean Claude turned?

Awesome

>a handwritten digit takes 163 seconds of real-time DOOM in one map at the default schedule and 8 seconds at --opt 3.

What does this refer to? What does schedule mean here, and what are these opt levels?

Edit: oh sweet Jesus

Came for the "doomformer" based snow lyric puns... Left with a feeling my people are on slashdot.

This is absolutely incredible. I feel like this could help visualize a neural network, but you have to know a lot about DOOM to really understand it.

Self-plug I have a very similar blog post title but a very different approach. Honestly, I like your idea more than my own idea. https://nostalgia.dev/posts/running-doom-inside-a-transforme...

As a fellow doom-weird-places-fitter, this is art. Congratulations :)

I think it might be more interesting to target Boom/Boom-compatible, if possible, rather than ZDoom. ZDoom already has so many advanced features, you could implement the entire thing trivially in ACS. At least a table of required engine features would be nice to see; some are likely already supported in other source ports.

This is so trippy, very cool, love it

I made a classifier play doom[0]. But you turned the whole network into Doom! Amazing

Next step - take the cpu implemented in transformers implement it here and make it play doom. The compute needed still won't be able run Crysis well though.
