That's basically the concept of Turing Completeness. Any Turing complete system can run anything. It may be very slow, but it will run. ChatGPT could run on a 4004, all you need is time.

Everyone hallucinates stuff, you don't need to see the Virgin Mary to hallucinate. You hallucinate stuff every day, and you are not even aware of it. Even had a "déjà vu" ? Saw your black cat in a towel in a dark room ? Every

Open source is different from copyrighted. Or free (as in beer or speech), for that matter. It can be open source, free as in beer, as in speech, and copyrighted, at the same time.

"I’m genuinely curious how people have time to do this." Let's say you work 8 hours per day, 1 hour commuting. That's 15 hours left, you need to eat and sleep and bath and whatever. That leaves 15 hours because who cares

Maybe credit him in the title would be a good thing to start. In the title, there is neither its name nor the price he won. His nationality is not even mentioned in the article.
