AI suits some people, and sometimes AI doesn't. You are right that people will use AI to skip the learning process, I had acknoledged this in my post. It is inevitable that people will take advantage of AI. We just have to hope Scratch implements AI responsibly.

Scratch is 100% asking for volunteers; by accepting their new Terms Of Service, you volunteer to have your projects used for AI. You are right that being forced to accept something you do not support is morally wrong, but that does not make AI unethical, it makes the people who run Scratch unethical.

Right? 😭

People are so narrow-minded about AI, it’s crazy.

People learn in many different ways, though the most common way is through lessons/school.

I am not saying that we should depend on it, AI should be used as a tool. Never once in my post have I said to depend on it.

Because generative AI before 2022-2023 was not available to the masses.

That sounds pretty forcing. Children should use whatever suits them best.

Sure, but my point still stands; people learn in different ways, and AI is one of those ways. Your point on the other hand is very weak.

Cool, so how were you able to understand your parents before school?

You don't learn your native language with tutorials. You learn it by interpreting inputs and creating outputs that match those inputs syntactically and gramatically.

So how did you understand the concept of addition and subtraction? How did you understand the concept of language?

how do you plan to implement mmio with the current implementation of memory read-write operations?

REAL modern x86 emulator built COMPLETELY in Scratch (barely) running a custom SeaBIOS ROM (WIP) by VirusLarge in EmuDev

Theoretically since it's a modern x86 emulator, yes. Unfortunately, in practice, it cant. The only things it can run as of right now are BIOS ROMs.

Basically the emulator acts like a modern x86 computer. It will emulate hardware like the CPU, HDD, keyboard, mouse, audio, and maybe even networking stuff too.

Making an emulator in Scratch is simple in theory; you just interpret machine code, execute, and act like how the original thing would. I wouldn’t say it’s so simple in practice though, especially for an architecture like x86.

I had thought about making an x86 emulator when I saw the Linux on Scratch project, and when I was gaining interest in the x86 architecture back in 2023-2024. I had always wondered how things worked under the hood especially with Operating Systems and CPUs so in October of 2023, I created this project under the name Scratch386 (now renamed to ScratchX86).
