Interestingly, this project only just launched yesterday, and today Fable 5 has already been disabled.

#292This 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 wonder why people are more eager to pool money to pay a corporate-owned computer to build things than to the actual humans who have been building open source for decades? Much of which has ended up in the training set?
Price?

This is such a interesting idea.
Could this be the way we develop software in the future?!
- instead of paying for subscription SaaS. Users pool resources for the idea, AI builds and maintains it. Pricing is a fraction of what we pay otherwise.
A bit early today but definitely a possibility in a couple of years.

I don’t know, if the design itself is copyrighted you could argue that the AI is just a bunch of hired workers that built it for extremely low wages. If I hired a bunch of people to build me a house, and I drafted the architectural plans with the help of a paid architect, neither the architect nor the builders have ownership over the home. So if a collection of people design something together maybe that has merit, t…
I’m pretty sure copyright office has settled that already. Inly human expression can be copyrighted: > As described above, in many circumstances these outputs will be copyrightable in whole or in part—where AI is used as a tool, and where a human has been able to determine the expressive elements they contain. Prompts alone, however, at this stage are unlikely to satisfy those requirements. https://www.copyright.gov/…
Using a harness to build something should clear that barrier, by the same logic that a photographer pointing on camera at something and pressing a button clears the barrier.

#298Cool concept. The AI building it isn’t really the interesting part to me. it’s honestly the public ledger and funding the build milestone by milestone. Makes the whole thing a spectator event.

Some people have a drinking budget, I have a domain name budget. A couple years back, my friends threw a domain name transfer party, like a secret Santa where you got to surprise someone with a domain name you got for them.
The thing about budgets is you don't have to spend it all

#300I wrote this to a friend in 2022: Here's an idea: reverse kickstarter 1. people post ideas 2. good ideas go viral 3. people pledge actual money to encourage someone to step forward and build it 4. interested creators make kickstarter type videos explaining their proposal for making the thing 5A. people vote on which proposal to accept, or maybe 5B. each backer can select a project to support --- Here steps 4 and 5 ar…
