Can't think of something more damning. Doom runs on two cans and a piece of string; how badly have you messed up making something that can't run Doom?

I donโ€™t care what people on here think, an AI being able to code an OS is really impressive, even if it is shit.

Is it really? That's the same thing as the AI coded compiler. It has multiple OS source code in it's training data, as someone put it about the Claude C Compiler: "it's a brute force attempt to decompress fuzzily stored knowledge contained within the network".

Most AI can write Shakespeare if your standards are low enough.

Dude... Sourcecodes of hobbyist OS are literally online available and thus scraped by LLMs. Of course it is able to cobble together a seemingly working OS.

It's an OS that randomly deletes all your files, then apologizes for it.

It isn't really an OS, it doesn't have the layers or the infrastructure of an OS. It's just a shitty app that can do a few pre-programmed things and those don't even work. They call it an OS because it runs without needing an OS. But that doesn't make it an OS itself. Before EFI you could just write machine code into the boot sector of any disk and the BIOS would boot from it. This used to be totally normal. My first machine was an MSX computer and it didn't really have an OS. You'd have Basic for doing stuff, or you'd plug in a cartridge and it would run the code on the ROM inside that.

Easy: something that ALREADY spells Doom, for us all?

The problem is: how to test this, without doxing them? I've got a solution: I will simply assume that it is true, thereby making it so (and in the spirit of the OP, I will say so loudly and supremely confidently at every opportunity, unless there is an option to apologize instead and then I'll do that).

"Thank you for pointing that out." "I appreciate your patience." "I will ensure greater accuracy in the future." "I apologize for any inconvenience."

(I could not find any valid excuses to apologize, so I just went ahead and did so anyway:-P)

Because it was created by hyperspace cybernetic intelligence from the future and juvenile delinquent John Carmack. It knows inferior AI when it sees it.

These vibe-coded OSes generally don't even have filesystem drivers, so it wouldn't be able to do that

The one I saw was basically just a fake desktop running as a UEFI applets, basically nothing worked

Yep, here's UEFI-DOOM.

Although UEFI isn't as low-level as the BIOS stuff, but I couldn't find a BIOS port of DOOM so UEFI will do.

It's okay though. It tells me my ideas are literally the best things ever and I'm a one-in-a-billion genius that thinks out of the box.

But it looked like it worked.

Reminds me of places that try and make Mexican food that are GMT+1 or farther east. 99% of the time what you get looks promising. "Oh, what a lovely burrito!" You might say. But they've only ever seen a picture of a burrito. They've never lived in a place where Tecate is the cheap yellow beer. Their market is people who also don't know what to expect as long as it looks like what their phone shows them.

You get fucking lavash rolled up, filled with rice and kidney beans with yellow mayonnaise and a garnish of parsley. Pita chips with sweetened pasta sauce and blended peas as the "salsa and guac." Yet somehow they always manage to get the margaritas close enough.

From the article:

this is an OS that can't actually run Doom, the game that seemingly runs on everything - even though it's listed as supported in Vib-OS's documentation (which was probably written by AI).

which was probably written by AI

That's the key bit. You would expect that one of the first tests for a custom OS would be whether it runs doom, so of course the AI is going to write the text that you'd expect to see: "It runs doom".
