"Solve Garbage Collection in C# for HFT · $10.00 raised of est. $200.00 target" This can't be serious. Broader point I am making is, what differentiates genuine ideas from the token burn? What happens when the pool exhausts but the task is not done?
You keep putting money into the slot and pulling the lever

Seems similar to open source bounties, which have been tried in the past and never succeeded. We've seen something like 20+ years of different attempts of voluntary donations to fund open source, and it never worked. Companies barely fund anything voluntarily. I'm taking the opposite approach with Supported Source ( https://supso.org/ ) which is this: actually force companies to pay to use the project. Sell commercia…
I think there's a categorical difference between paying for long term maintenance voluntarily vs paying for something to exist. The latter works much better as the value prop is clear and you can scratch an itch. Kickstarter is similar.

I wonder why that didn’t happen on kick starter. Product hunt was kind of this. It’s actually interesting. Why didn’t this ever happen?
One interesting aspect of LLMs is that each one, weights frozen, can be thought of as a single developer whose work you have already evaluated.
The cost of finding, evaluating, and negotiating with a new human is tremenous.

A lot of AWS is built on open-source. This is obviously ignoring hardware costs. I don’t know if it is all that ridiculous anymore. These models are very good at wiring together open-source systems. The world is crazy right now…
This idea reads like a joke, but there's something to it. One feature request: In addition to high-level milestones, it would be cool if a partially-funded project would generate a public, highly detailed implementation plan. Also, IANAL but MIT is still a license with a copyright holder. I don't think saying "it's MIT, we all own it" is defensible. The courts might view all this code as public domain.
if fable is writing it, courts my declare that its not even public domain? not a copywrightable work
This is engineering theatre (pun intended).
The amount of hubris here is exceptional, the author doesn't even know that it's "clean room" rather than "green room". What does it even mean to build an open source AWS? There are many open source IaaS/PaaS components. Is the author suggesting any hardware design, because that's a critical component.
The only possible result of this is an AWS fanfic. An art project that looks vaguely like a cloud provider on the surface if you squint, but with zero substance to it.
And this criticism has nothing to do with AI. You'd get the same spending 100x that budget on any engineering team.
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.
