Do I know anyone who can read DVD-RAM cartridges? (And yes, I already asked @npub1rv4…ft5j )

@npub1qz2…nlrg is there any escape from noise?

"Titan" is an unfinished and unpublished game for #Atari 8-bit computers by Tom Hudson and Lee Pappas, which was planned to be published by A.N.A.L.O.G. software. This morning I recovered the only known copies of the disk.

Here's the #Atari Corporation Prospectus and Form S-1 from when Jack Tramiel took the company public in 1986. 400+ pages of interesting material. It took me three years (almost to the day) to get these documents from the SEC. I just received them today.
I am positive there are many amazing, unknown facts about the company's history in these pages — now, let's find them.

Do I have any Atari ST friends in the Seattle area who can pick up an ST hard disk and get data off of it?

@npub1e7v…flg9 @npub1el0…j0zm I don’t know that much about LLMs, but I think the idea here is the train it only on basic, it will never have seen python. So it will not use any python practices.

@npub1e7v…flg9 @npub1el0…j0zm I experimented with making Atari BASIC code with ChatGPT, and it’s sort of worked, but it wasn’t great. I think it will be fun to experiment with a model that has is trained exclusively on that.

Who wants to help build an AI to write Atari BASIC code? I do! @npub1el0…j0zm is looking to put together a team of 10-12 Atari enthusiasts to help curate the training examples. We could crowdsource this if each person provides ~ 20-30 working examples from books, magazines, or their own code. Who wants to participate? It’ll be open source.
