Re: Online content.

I'm well aware of what's available out there as online content (it's no farther than a Google or youtube search).

Do you think what's out there as online content is what's truly possible if we had a million more Amiga enthusiasts?

That's my vision of what's to come in, say, 10-20 yrs. Imagine every Amiga game played and recorded by many (AI) users from start to finish. Every tactic explored, and cool strategies figured out. I for one would watch this.

Imagine vibe coding becoming more and more possible with 68k assembly. And having 1000x Amiga (AI) developers producing cool demo, intro and game material. New material. Novel and cutting edge material. At massive scale.

I believe this is the future we're headed. I for one am very excited about it.

Re: A physical museum.

No, an Amiga or Commodore focus cannot be found anywhere in Silicon Valley or in United States. Even Computer History Museum (CHM) in Silicon Valley has very little Commodore content.

I live <1 mile away from the original Amiga offices in Los Gatos. It's a bit of shame that there's so little Amiga or Commodore in CHM.

The joy of the demoscene is inextricable from the human and physical nature of it.

Yes, you can have AI tools vibe code up "new" 68k assembly for old machines, but you're never going to see it find genuinely new techniques for pushing the limits of the hardware until you give it access to actual hardware. The demoscene pushes the limits so hard that emulators have to be updated after demos are published. That makes it prohibitively expensive and difficult to employ AI to do this work in the manner you describe.

Don't mistake productivity for progress. There is joy in solving hard problems yourself, especially when you're the one who chose the limitations... And remember to sit back and enjoy yourself once in a while.

Speaking of, here's a demo you can sit back and enjoy: https://youtu.be/3aJzSySfCZM
