The quest to run doom on everything continues. Technically speaking, isn't this the greatest possible anti-Doom, the Doom with the highest possible hardware requirement? I just find it funny that on a linear scale of hardware specification, Doom now finds itself on both ends.


>Technically speaking, isn't this the greatest possible anti-Doom

When I read this part I thought you were going to say because you're technically not running Doom at all. That is, instead of running Doom without Doom's original hardware/software environment (by porting it), you're running Doom without Doom itself.


It's dreaming Doom.


We made machines dream of Doom. Insane.


Time to make a sheep mod for Doom.


Do Robots Dream of E1M1?


Droom


Pierre Menard, Author of Doom.


I applaud your erudition.


OK, this is the single most perfect comment someone could make on this thread. Diffusion me impressed.


Knee Deep in the Death of the Author.


that took a moment, thank you


> the Doom with the highest possible hardware requirement?

Isn't that possible by setting arbitrarily high goals for ray-cast rendering?


It's the No-Doom.


Undoom?


It’s a mood.

> Technically speaking, isn't this the greatest possible anti-Doom, the Doom with the highest possible hardware requirement?

Not really? The greatest anti-Doom would be an infinite nest of these types of models predicting models predicting Doom at the very end of the chain.

The next step of anti-Doom would be a model generating the model, generating the Doom output.


Isn't this technically a model (training step) generating a model (a neural network) generating Doom output?


“…now it can implement Doom!”


to me the closer analogy here is the "running minecraft inside minecraft" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32901461)
