> Odysseus Is the person best known for exploiting security vulnerabilities to get into places you'd rather they didn't, and then getting lost and taking forever to get places the ideal namesake for your AI workspace project?

keep in mind pewdiepie is probably the worst dev name ontop

I can think of worse. Inspired by somewhat surrealist names of a cat video, I'm pretty sure naming them "HP Inkjet 3482" would be a worse name for an AI model and lead to copyright issues from Hewlett-Packard.

Open webui isn't fully open source, because it doesn't allow you to change or remove Open Webui branding. I don't know if that was a motivation for creating this, but it is a reason some people might choose not to use it.

The truth is, there's something about the vibe coder hive mind where they all create the same thing. Everyone is working on the same thing. There's hundreds of projects like this where the creator thinks they've created the most unique powerful thing. I think it demonstrates how overuse of LLMs for brainstorming/planning and building destroys creativity. That zeitgeist changes from month to month, but when a vibe cod…

It's like the Lisp Curse but for everything now.

respect for what pewdiepie's trying to do (as he explains in his video) but this is just ai slop

its dense in features but the amount of security concerns and improvements would be too difficult to maintain with the way its organised currently. let's see.

I think the thing is users run into the same problems (barely desirable tool UX), and arrive at very similar solutions (but with their own small twists and preferences). And now that the barrier to make things is essentially gone, they jump in and make things that git their own desires week because nothing out there was an exact fit.

Like I found a really cool project a few weeks ago that I started using and even made a few QoL changes to. Then I thought of the many other changes I wanted, and that the project was written in a language I'm not familiar with (Rust), and I started a port in what I know well (Python) so that I'll be able to actually review the code if needed and generally make better architectural decisions.

this was... hallucinated? hence the removal?

i write an agent in C, create my own models. crickets. pewdiepie gets into programming on a whim creates slop, 3k stars.

AI doesn’t have a model or agent availability problem to be fair, it does have a positive outreach problem and pewdiepie can do extremely well there

just my 2c
