Brilliant idea! We need consensus protocols for voting on phases. Similar to the "twitch" plays Pokemon phenomenom.

I feel like using Fable in the name is a mistake, who knows how long that model will be around.

You could call it aiproductsexchange.com

Bold move leaving out the dash between words a la experts-exchange lol.

I don't understand how that would not be a complete joke even if tokens were 2 orders of magnitude more expensive than they are.

So the completed sample was estimated at $0.35, actually cost $0.52, but spend $0.55 This bot is almost as bad as I am at estimating projects.

Did it not charge anything for the estimation itself? I wonder what model they’re using for that

I think the bottleneck is testing. I want to build a replacement for Zwift, a virtual gym game for bike trainers and treadmills, but testing it could be difficult without a real person on real hardware. How does the LLM know about the hardware protocols and stuff like that.

Hell yeah, $516 for a complete AWS replacement, I'm in lol!

Reminds of the four college kids that were going to clone Facebook. Turns out it's hard than it looks, if you have never tried it.
