#32Are you aware of https://handy.computer/ ?
Or the excellent Ghost Pepper*, or many, many other options. * https://matthartman.github.io/ghost-pepper/
there's one of these just about every other week since early this year
i think it's incredible because however saturated I feel this space has become, highly likely the vast majority of the world has no idea how good models have become, let alone local models

It's because vibe coded apps have flooded the internet. This one is no exception. The feedback loop is now real: LLMs train from github on their own produced slop which they feed into the apps people build and publish on github to show off their "skills". In 2 years from now LLMs will become dumber and dumber as the rate of quality code vs. slop will be greatly imbalanced so, naturally, the more slop you have the mor…
the loop is going to be interesting as we produce orders of magnitude low signal code, how do Labs comb through everything to train on the true contributions since last training run?
I wonder if one way to monetize certified "skill" will be to syndicate / license your provably well software engineered / tasteful AI engineered code back to the Labs for a fee
