Service as a software substitute. Weak. Imagine the world where this nonsense is taken to its logical conclusion. I am really interested in trying to use fifos / named pipes for interprocess communication with a locally running llm piping into a terminal. The llm would be trained to expect a bash terminal's output while attempting to accomplish some goal. Its outputs would be bash commands. The bash terminal would be piped to be the input of the llm. Circular loop. Other than security, I'm curious why I haven't seen any kind of project like this for automating autonomous agents. You could run it in a VM on the first computer. Is anyone aware of something like that, that isn't vaporware? I don't want a black box OS. I want an OS with a highly skilled pair programmer in-line with me at a terminal that I can call up when I get curious or want to know the smart person way to fix something. As a self taught computer person who does software as a hobby, something like that would be really attractive.
