completely agree, but it is at least raising the point that 150-300x is only a bit wider than things like framework/language choice... which is quite remarkable considering how much more open-ended running everything through an LLM is.
> hallucinate an entire operating system every single frame
1. I don't know that "hallucinate" is the right word here... any more than Windows 11 itself is a hallucination, for example
2. I don't personally think that this system is a million (thousands x thousands, from your attestation) times slower, but given Moore's Law, even that isn't the worst thing ever. this is the low water mark.
