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 @SuperDicq @sun Patiently waiting for the models to become cheap enough that I can replace missing features from open core projects, ehm, nginx.

@phnt @feld @SuperDicq I know two people that have already done this a half dozen times, reimplemented paid features of open source projects

a bunch of projects are currently removing their test suites from their git repos because people are using the tests against their ai reimplementations

@sun @phnt @feld @SuperDicq sounds like something rather specific to anthropic admitting they doinked gcc's test suite

@icedquinn @phnt @SuperDicq @sun

> anthropic admitting they doinked gcc's test suite

yeah but who cares? Even Chris Lattner admitted he learned how to write LLVM/Clang by studying GCC

> Some have criticized CCC for learning from this prior art, but I find that ridiculous - I certainly learned from GCC when building Clang!
