It really is like having an enthusiastic junior dev. If you don't rein it in and don't understand every library it pulls in and the architecture it should be using, it's going to do retarded things that are hard to catch.

Often best to just write the thing yourself.

I wanted raw inference API access. A curl script and nvim wasn't enough, too much hassle just to see the <think> tokens and being able to edit them

If you use a UI over these, you cannot edit the reasoning. It says "not supported". Why is it not supported? Who knows. It's just a fucking string dude.

Anyway. I explained this in detail to the clanker and told it to implement the v1/completions API. Foolish as I am, I forgot that the geniuses at openAI named the successor API v1/chat/completions.
So of course it got confused

I told the AI multiple times that I want a fucking string buffer on the screen and just to append to that, and in the background, unbeknownst to me, it built a fucking dictionary, a parser, multiple roles. All that to just fucking concat it to a single string in the end, making the whole thing pointless.

This balooned the code up to 10x the size it had to be though. What a waste of time

> 10x the size it had to be

Oh that's no problem, you fit right in with every other shitcoder out there, the more lines the better because it means you're getting your money's worth from the bot!

Watched this today, or, I listened to it while I was working, but I caught most of what he was saying. I've seen a few other videos he's made.

It got me to thinking about something. I have several old computers that I run just to play around with. Some are pre-Windows DOS machines that I play with to see how much modern-ish stuff I can do on them.

You remember how they trained that AI last year to convert images into the studio ghibli style? I wonder if you could train one to convert websites into a stripped down version so that old hardware and software could display them. I think the error old browsers run into is they can't handle ssl and tls, not that I know what those are, but they complain about them on most urls.
