This is cool and I understand the RAM emulation with gated attention but how does the CPU emulation wor? You add layers that are then trained to predict outputs while interpreting RISC instructions?

Cool cool cool

I'd be very interested in how a scratch trained model that started training with this neural circuitry would behave. Especially the storage space.

But... why? </s>

This reminds me of C++ Template Metaprogramming (TMP) (it's Turing-complete so people wrote "games" that run at compile time). The same with TypeScript types, I think someone got DOOM running entirely in the TypeScript type system. An interesting tech demo but entirely superfluous.

So this is yet another rube goldberg machine.

We have gone down this path already in [0] and this is the same thing but overly complicated. This reason is "because LLMs".

Why?

I’ve never wanted to learn how LLMs work more than reading this. Fascinating.

Does divagr get paid to do wild things with LLMs? Just curious if they’re being compensated for these wild experiments

This is fun and games, but wait until an agents finds this and does the most misaligned thing with it in order to fold paper clips.

Love the spirit :)

If anyone else has an easier way to emulate RISC-V I’d like to hear it. /S
