Running a Neural-Network Ecology Simulation as a Desktop Wallpaper

A Redditor used LLMs to finally build the tiny neural networks he'd always wanted: micro-agents running as shaders that sense their environment, move, eat food, push each other, exchange signals and hold primitive memory. He runs the ecology survival simulation full-time as his desktop background, occasionally feeding the creatures, watching evolutionary mayhem unfold while browsing. Not groundbreaking, but a fun example of LLM-assisted creative coding.
