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

@SuperDicq saw some idiot the other day call openclaw "distributed computing" lol it offloads 100% of its work to openai

@sun@shitposter.world @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Well I'm guessing you can install ollama on an Android/Termux + bypass OpenAI... can run the pieces wherever you like. So it can be "distributed" however it suits you.

@nom @SuperDicq it runs like shit with local models

@sun@shitposter.world @nom@mk.spook.social The only reason for that is because these AI companies are proprietary hellholes who do not share their code so we could run the same shit at home if we wanted to.

@SuperDicq @sun @nom I mean they actually do release a bunch of research papers or did at least until recently the actual code really isn't that significant and it's mostly infra handling the vast datasets afaik, the real stuff is the training data and most of it is stolen copyrighted stuff so :)

@meeper@udongein.xyz @sun@shitposter.world @nom@mk.spook.social Yeah that's another whole problem too. They can't even share their training data if they wanted to because it's fucking illegal.

@SuperDicq @meeper @nom I didn't care about copyright violating for learning stuff before, but I didn't have time to sift through all of it myself. the big companies chewed it all up and made it digestible now, so win win

@sun @SuperDicq @nom @meeper my only real issue with this is that insofar the trump admin is just giving meta et all a free pass because "idk AI or something."

i'm fine with us just saying IP is over, had a bad run, lets move on to the star trek future. what i'm absolutely not going to tolerate is "meta and anthropic steals everything illegally, monopolizes and monetizes it, and then oh no we have to respect copyrights again (?)"

@icedquinn @SuperDicq @nom @meeper its a real problem I'm just saying right now I get the benefit of piracy via a third party to learn a ton of stuff and that's actually a good thing.
