Minecraft fan may be most committed hobbyist out there

New Scientist

Feedback comes across a YouTuber's efforts to build a large language model in Minecraft and is impressed at the scale of it - even if it doesn't quite live up to its promise to blow your mind in spectacular fashion There are few things Feedback appreciates more than a truly committed hobbyist: someone who happily spends months or even years building something that is of no practical use whatsoever, just to be able to look at it or play with it. For those who might be unfamiliar, Minecraft is an open-world game in which everything is made up of cubical blocks. Players dig into the ground to collect cubes of useful minerals, which they can use to build things. For instance, they might build a house so that the monsters that come out at night can't get them. Or they might go big.


This Minecraft virtual computer is powerful enough to play…Minecraft

PCWorld

Late last year, we told you about the Chungus 2, a virtual computer that was "built" within the blocky world of Minecraft. The initial processor design could play super-basic games like Snake on a 32 32 display. Minecraft builder Sammyuri and their team have been expanding the enormous project. Now, the virtual computer is powerful enough to play…Minecraft. Surprisingly, this hasn't opened any black holes or portals to the netherworld, at least not that we know of.
