Claude-made demoscene demo lands at 1.5MB, matching legendary Second Reality's size

- Developer gandamuml built a demoscene-style demo (executable + S3M music) with Claude, weighing about 1.5MB on macOS — roughly the same as the legendary 1993 demo Second Reality at 1.44MB on MS-DOS.
- With different compiler flags or on Windows it would be even smaller, though Second Reality had far more content; shrinking it further would hurt other aspects of the demo.
- The experiment started from curiosity after seeing Claude-generated p5.js animations, and the demo has been received mainly as news that models can pull this off at all.
