This program doesn't do anything? It is just a bunch of markdown files and a wrapper for LLMs with shell access?

And you're telling me that developing "skills" for this piece of shit is just writing a markdown file with instructions on how to do a thing?

People are mass buying overpriced Mac Mini computers just to play with A COLLECTION OF MARKDOWN FILES?

AI bubble has reached peak insanity.

@SuperDicq I set up a vm and used that and it worked great, people buying a mac for this are retarded

@sun@shitposter.world What do you mean it works great? You're sending a bunch of markdown files to an LLM API. It literally doesn't do anything special.

@SuperDicq @sun it builds its own tools. I had it develop custom things in node and python. The Markdown just tells it how to use the tools it built and what they're for.

@feld@friedcheese.us @sun@shitposter.world Isn't it infinitely more efficient to just share the code with other people instead of just sharing instructions on how to write the code?

Is this what the future is going to be like? No more software? Just every app being a markdown file and everyone running their own vibecoded version of it?

@SuperDicq @sun the future is going to be whatever the hell you want it to be

but there are plenty of apps/tools that have never existed before because nobody thought it was a problem worth solving, or there isn't a good enough product-market-fit

now you can make custom tools pretty easily to solve almost any problem you have. I have a ton of things I've wished for but never had the time to build, and now I can have those things solved quite easily.

It's liberating.

@feld@friedcheese.us @sun@shitposter.world I don't think it's very "liberating" to have a proprietary SaaSS API build software for you.

You what is actually liberating? The free software movement where people build code and share it with each other so you don't have to do everything yourself.

@SuperDicq @sun ok where are those free software people at and why aren't they building the shit for me that I want?

oh wait they're not slaves and we shouldn't treat them as such?????


also isn't your proprietary CPU making you anxious?

@feld@friedcheese.us @sun@shitposter.world

where are those free software people at and why aren't they building the shit for me that I want?

What the fuck are you on about? You're literally using a crapton of free software right now probably that does exactly what you want.

@SuperDicq @sun what about other stuff I want like a web-controlled audiobook player that streams through mpd and icecast and automatically controls my Sonos speakers and after a set timeout stops the audiobook and plays a relaxing sleep sound for me all night?

Where's the open source solution to that?

oh wait there isn't so I've vibe coded my own solution and it fucking rocks

I have dozens of projects like this in the back of my head that I've always wanted but nobody made

@feld@friedcheese.us @sun@shitposter.world And why didn't you write it yourself before?

I have a bunch of personal projects that I work on. It's actually a lot of having to use your brain you know.

@SuperDicq @sun because I don't have enough time

you realize we only have so many years on this earth, right? If I wanted to become in expert in everything that intrigues me I'll be dead before I finish

I also enjoy doing other things, like taking my dog on walks or reading books or playing videogames or having s*x with my wife

If I devoted 24/7 of my energy to these tasks I'd be an insufferable incel shitposter, but thanks to this amazing technology I'm just a regular shitposter

@feld @SuperDicq seconding, AI also gives me more time to have sex with feld's wife

@sun @feld @SuperDicq it gives me more time to look into the Epstein files

@Ree @SuperDicq @sun don't worry your name is still redacted
