~html has more capabilities than markdown~ the real title

Weren’t llms specifically originally set to output and print markdown format since it is simpler and easier everyone to read? No different rendering/libraries/apis to worry about…

Already outsourcing your work to ai? Good for you, hopefully you can enjoy that 10-15 minutes of irony.

How much of this article is written by ai?

Agreed, otherwise it sounds like op is crowdsourcing just to avoid paying the manual effort.

*Edit: op has been vibe coding all over, could just vibe code the guides themselves without human input?

Oh no I’m not worried about the resources or rate limits.

If I’d make a mobile app and users simply use your automation service instead of my mobile app, I’d lose traffic/money/motivation to improve it.

If they run into issues from your service now it could make my app look bad while the error isn’t with the app.

See tailwind for an example tale.

This makes me want to never create a public service again.

I’ll take this article as sarcasm.

You probably would have to make an account with a valid personal email, just to trace your prompts.

There’s also virustotal, any.run, probably a few others outside of GitHub/gitlab scans

A vibe coded thought experiment, interesting but likely not worth the tokens to duplicate work.

I just skimmed the fully vibe coded page and saw the quote “Machines now speak every human language better than most humans.”. Interesting, and maybe possible if languages never change.

Hmm, nice page, I may end up vibe coding my own showcase page

Your loop is wrong, as it will go ‘intent -> llm(?) -> result’. Which doesn’t need to compile, but the llm its own black box of magic function that may or may not reproduce the same result based on intent. Also I would think the number of tokens would be concerning, as your example prompt looks 3x larger then the code snippet.

It’s great to hear that! Hopefully you get the compliments you deserve after the logic is potentially reversed.

Are you worried about someone training their own model and recreating their own bot off of your public logs?

Just re-train your own model on your own collected data. No problem there.

“The solution is to remove humans from the per-operation decision loop and replace them with programmatic evaluation that does not fatigue, does not habituate, and does not rubber-stamp.” So instead of having a human peer review an ai bot, you’re having a ai or human made system peer review an ai bot. Sounds like you’re just trying to shoulder the burden if you let an ai delete an entire mailbox.
