So cool
This is pretty awesome. I used Claude to build a 4-bit system emulator with a generic ops code set. It was fun and it sparked some good conversations with my kids. Applying this to forcing AI instructions is really interesting. It does force the user to structure their requests, which always seems to be the root of the problem with many AI workflows. The token usage is an interesting side effect. I wonder if the breakeven point can be determined. Now you've got me thinking more about DSL and how to use them in the AI context. The prose method is so verbose. At least with COBOL is was verbosity with precision. AI chats are verbosity with ambiguity unless you have a structured discipline and process to making requests or leveraging specific skills -- which have become their own DSL in their own right. Nice work!
Very cool idea and implementation. As someone who's first computing experience was with punch cards and 2nd was using a new Commodore PET, it shocked me how those opcodes still made sense. I'm now using AI to modernise code from platforms from the same era.
oh man!
I should learn the machine code.
The title is misleading, I thought you implemented an AI in 6502, that would have been very cool... Maybe one day 😁
Your \"Same Verbs, Bigger Nouns\" observation is spot on. We face this constantly translating medical intelligence. An
LDAfor a symptom like \"kaaichal\" (Tamil for \"fever\") needs to pull a nuanced local context, not just generic concepts.\n\nResolving specific drug brand names for interactions across 22 languages means the \"noun\" behind...Seeing modern AI logic applied to such a limited instruction set is very cool.

this is such a fascinating way to bridge retro tech with modern workflows. love how you mapped the 6502 assembly to triage and fix processes. it’s a clever twist.
speaking of modern apps, at Moonshift you can deploy a full next.js app with postgres and auth in about 7 minutes, and you keep the code on your github. if you want to give it a whirl, I can set you up with a free build.
