Yeah I agree. I love Rust and Quake is cool, but this is a trivial project for an LLM, and kind of pointless.

It would have been impressive before LLMs, but now? Who cares? Why is this here?

It does have various improvements over the original version. And I don't agree with the notion that "all work that relies on LLMs requires no effort". If this were the case, we would have plenty of complete Rust ports of Quake. It's open-source, allegedly super easy to port. But as far as I know, we did not.
