#92This looks like a fun project. I'm going to be that guy and spam this reminder regarding the HN submission text:
Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans

At the very least prompt your LLM to skip the AI-isms for "your" comments!

#93This reads like it was written by AI. I don't understand how it provides any real security if the "guardrails" against prompt injection are just a system prompt telling the dumber model "don't do this"
I had the same thought as well. The firewall is just assuming a dumb model can't be tricked

#94Interesting setup.
The IRC part is neat, but the tiered inference is what stood out.
How do you decide when to escalate from Haiku to Sonnet?

#98I really like the idea, as well as the "terminal" style the site has. however, I consider that an additional daily spend of $2 could be avoided. perhaps by caching common questions (like "what is this?"), or by using free tiers on API providers.
or, maybe I'm just too cost-conscious.
either way, the API limit is currently your "Achilles' heel", as it has already caused the bot to stop responding.
