Computers inside computers inside computers…
First there was the person who built a computer inside of Minecraft and programmed it to play Minecraft.
Now Frederic Besse built a usable linux terminal in GPTchat — usable in that it can perform systems operations on a virtual computer that’s also been invoked in (by? with?) GPTchat. For example, you can tell the terminal to create a file and where to store it in a file system that did not exist until you asked, and under most definitions of “exist” doesn’t exist anywhere.
I feel like I need to get a bigger mind in order for it to be sufficiently blown.
(PS: I could do without the casual anthropomorphizing in the GPT article.)
