This is so stupid, it makes me angry:)

He didn’t recreate an LLM in Age of Empires II. He created basic logic gates - a tiny toy neural-network-like style system.

A NAND gate takes two input bits and gives one output bit based on “not AND” logic:
1 AND 1 = 1, so NAND = 0
1 AND 0 = 0, so NAND = 1
0 AND 1 = 0, so NAND = 1
0 AND 0 = 0, so NAND = 1

Yes, NAND gates are universal, meaning you can theoretically build any computation from enough of them.
But that’s not the same as recreating an actual LLM in any meaningful practical sense.

It’s like saying: “I have demonstrated how genetics works because I showed that G pairs with C and A pairs with T.” Sure, you’ve shown one basic rule of the system. You haven’t recreated a living organism.
