No shit it’s not running on an 8088. And the developer did have to write a post request in C to run from the PC. That’s more than I would have done. I’d just put a pi somewhere as a proxy and let flask handle all of it.

…fucking mad that a web-request based client isn’t running on an 8088. Fucking really?

He probably could have written it with ChatGPT or at least bring him above the "can I be bothered to do this" threshold.

Have it build an outline and fill in the specifics and make the necessary corrections. It's like having a very junior coder doing the time consuming typing for you, and then you just have to make corrections to make it work.

That computer is probably older than half the people on Reddit. Of course it's just a client for it, the hardware is way less powerful than even a smartwatch. He still had to overcome a ton of little challenges to get this working.

Edit: CPU and RAM for this machine:

  • Intel 8088 4.77Mhz CPU
  • 640KB conventional memory (using upgrade kit)

His title is more accurate btw.

ChatGPT doesn't run on any hardware but its actual servers. Of course this is just a client.

Even if you wanted to run ChatGPT on a modern computer, much less an 1984 IBM PC, the source code and models are not open to the public.
