Are you one of the top 100 most famous people on planet earth?

What the hell were you expecting. Your slop will fade in history... his slop will linger for months, maybe a year or two.

Then no one will care or remember about any of this.

accurate, but i’ll keep building anyway
you forgot step 1. become the #1 youtuber
Did you share your C agent and models? Would love to checkout
sure i can share it. it started as a text editor that i incorporated an agent into then moved to a standalone agent. now i’ve got the editor, agent, and have begun work on actual from scratch models (these aren’t available yet), but i’ve been messing with fine tuning ollama coder models as something in the meantime. the goal is embedded models accessible to everyone offline. too many tasks require many less parameters than people are using on them and don’t need to be routed through data centers. mainly just built it for myself but figured others might find it neat and/or useful. it’s all C, no packages or third party libraries. also to be clear i’m not against ai, im against it making 100% of the decisions for you. outside of its own models it’s capable of OAuth with claude and gh. it can also api into many others. tooling is always ongoing maintenance and i’ve got the next version of basically all three of them on the back burner waiting to be pushed. so anyway, here’s my little setup, here’s to not getting killed in the comments. contributions also welcome. https://github.com/mithraeums/hako-code
nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
rich of you to talk about slop when your own 'handwritten' project has one c file with over 6.5k lines of code.
did you not read the entire post? also correct the one file IS the entire thing. compiling one file on iSh on an iPhone actually works well.
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

okay i watched his video on it, i can definitely abide.
Don't forget milla jovovich.
Something something meritocracy blabla
