Hey! Robotopia looks awesome, I'm excited to try it out when it launches. How do you convert the LLM output to actions? Is there more broad actions available (ie like creating any object, moving anything anywhere) exposed to the LLM or is it more specific tools it can call?

No one is forced to code, they have sleeping areas, and plenty of time for breaks, and no one will care if someone decides to take a break for a bit

During Hack Club's IRL Hackathons, teens can get their parents to sign a "freedom waiver" to allow them to leave the hackathon venue and explore the city (they usually happen in high profile cities like NYC or Boston) without supervision. I assume what happened to them was they got lost during this optional exploration period

This user was banned from Hack Club for attempting to stage an "uprising" against the org, and has also engaged in tactics like Wikipedia vandalism. I would not take their word for being "a union organizer with Hack Club staff", although their blog does make several good points (https://place.reeseric.ci/writings/2024-05-05/)

Hack club was offered 5 years of Enterprise+ to make up for the situation, and has decided not to migrate at this time

+1 this is my personal opinion, will post an update as a reply to my original comment once the team reaches a consensus

Discord was not in consideration due to all the paywalled features and the lack of control, as well as locking bots behind admins (as hackclub is a community of programmers, we encourage all users to make their own bots to improve the community)

We discussed zulip a bit before deciding on mattermost, but the very subpar mobile app of zulip caused us to not go with it
