This idea reads like a joke, but there's something to it. One feature request: In addition to high-level milestones, it would be cool if a partially-funded project would generate a public, highly detailed implementation plan. Also, IANAL but MIT is still a license with a copyright holder. I don't think saying "it's MIT, we all own it" is defensible. The courts might view all this code as public domain.

I think what will be interesting is not whether the code will be produced, but rather: will anybody actually use any this output?

This sort of reminds me of startups that go out of business and then open source their code. It's kind of cool when they can do that, but almost nobody ever gets value from it.

Anyway, if anyone uses the code produced this way in prod, I'd love to hear your story.

I love how even the "demo build" doesn't work. https://fablepool.com/projects/7 Rather, it did work at milestone 14, but then regressed at milestone 15, where it changed the link from a wikimedia image to a nonexistent file in /assets (despite still having the "Photo via Wikimedia Commons" caption). edit: they removed it :^)

If you check "DEPLOYMENT.md," there is a lengthy list of deployment instructions for the app, and it includes creating an assets folder and putting an image of Claude Shannon in it. There are also other instructions, like "please make a favicon." So I think that bit is valid, the AI is simply farming out work to the human agent. My question, though, is why the "Live, public build log" only showing up to milestone 3,…

I have found that on long-running tasks, many of the communication (and other) invariants get dropped at seemingly arbitrary points along the way. It probably just stopped doing the log.

Is green room a word? I've heard clean room. And green field. Is it just an amalgamation?

Not sure but a green screen version of AWS for $500 is totally plausible and a decent metaphor for what you’d get with AI anyway.

It seems highly suspicious that all the target cost estimates are for $150-$400, regardless if it’s a bench for pelican on bicycle, or a clone of AAA game.

It reminds me of scam eshops where everything cost $random dollars in a hope that someone will enter a credit card number.

the estimation-engine is a work in progress. defs needs some work

Interesting that this doesn't seem to use blockchains. Arguably it would have been a good use case. OP, could you elaborate on the reasons for the choice (if it was a conscious one at all)?

I was surprised. I expected it to be crypto payments.
