Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm building this in the hope that AI will be cheap one day. For now, I'll add many optimizations

AI is cheap right now. At some point the AI companies must turn to generate profit

Anthropic has stated that their inference process is cash positive. It would be very surprising if this wasn't the case for everyone.

It's certainly an open question whether the providers can recoup the investments being made with growth alone, but it's not out of the question.

Terrible name, kind of a mid idea when you think about it (Self improving AI is literally what everyone's first thought is when building an AI), but still I like it.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you going to forget this name though?

I don’t know if I will forget it, but it’s enough to keep me away from considering using it

|The agent can rewrite its own configuration and code. I am very illiterate when it comes to Llms/AI but Why does nobody write this in Lisp??? Isn't it supposed to be the language primarily created for AI???

If hot reloading is a goal I would target Erlang or another BEAM language over a Lisp.

Does this do anything to resist prompt injection? It seems to me that structured exchange between an orchestrator and its single-tool-using agents would go a long way. And at the very least introduces a clear point to interrogate the payload.

But I could be wrong. Maybe someone reading knows more about this subject?

I think it's a genius name and is playful on the meme of a pale Zuckerberg being a robot.

Problem is the models need constant training or they become outdated. That the less expensive part generates profit is nice but doesn’t help if you look at the complete picture. Hardware also needs replacement
