- avaer 4mo agoNAL but I'd be worried about treading into CFAA territory with things like this. In the US, the law allows draconian penalties if you find yourself on the wrong side. Something like yt-dlp is just downloading public data, which I can see being defensible as automating the use of a service. But this commandeers remote machine resources to do your compute in ways clearly not intended by the provider. I don't know how ethical it is, but I definitely wouldn't want to argue this isn't "hacking" (the bad kind) in criminal court.
- jawns 4mo agoYeah, this is not slap on the wrist stuff. I think the creator expects nothing more than a C&D letter, but they could face prison time if a zealous federal prosecutor wants to make an example of them.
- hn_throwaway_99 4mo agoNot to mention, did this "hack" ever really work? When the original post went viral showing the Chipotle chatbot reversing a linked list, I (among others who posted their results online) immediately tried it and didn't get the same results, so I always assumed it was just a faked screenshot.
- avaer 4mo agoWhether something ever worked is not correlated with traction in a world where verification is measured by likes.
- arthurcolle 4mo agoYou really think someone would do that? Lie on the internet?
- Shadowmist 4mo agoTheir chat bot is pretty bad so who knows.
- qurren 4mo agoThey probably added something to the prompt after that viralness and then it was a cat and mouse game to jailbreak it
- Atotalnoob 4mo agoChipotle uses IPSoft Amelia. Amelia is quite horrible software, a place I worked did a bake off about 10 years ago and Amelia failed so miserably it was actually funny. There were so many security vulnerabilities.
- qingcharles 4mo agoAnd if you think CFAA is bad, then the states have even harsher versions too. Illinois' version specifically criminalizes any violation of a ToS.
- oneneptune 4mo agoI once saw the bad side of one of these draconian state laws many years ago. People rarely have the misfortune of hitting these laws in some flyover states... and I remember the local judge being really shocked by the mandated penalties for such a simple offense.

- drob518 4mo agoYep, the key phrase is “misuse of computing resources,” if I remember correctly. IANAL, however. That said, kudos for creativity.
- OrangeMusic 4mo ago> In the US,
- boston_clone 4mo agoI’m not a lawyer, but Chipotle is a US company and this github repo belongs to a US citizen currently residing and employed in New York, so US law might apply here.
- stronglikedan 4mo agoand they say the hardest thing in software is naming things, pffft...

- hung 4mo agoReminds me of when I used the Amazon.com AI Chatbot (was called Rufus and they renamed it to Alexa for shopping) to do things like write fizbuzz etc. Looks like they patched it to refuse though.
- jedbrooke 4mo agoI’d been thinking about if something like this would be possible for https://chatjimmy.ai/ https://chatjimmy.ai/ . The underlying model is only llama 3 8B but I’m curious what coding harnesses would be like at 17k tok/s
- tomashubelbauer 4mo agoIf you're on macOS you can try the built in LLM which I think is similar in size. There's a project called Apfel that wraps it in a CLI. Also Chrome ships with a web API called Prompt API that gives you offline access to Gemini Nano which can do both text and images at the input. Also tiny. I've integrated these into my workflows where a tiny but non zero amount of reasoning is needed in between the otherwise fully deterministic steps.
- stogot 4mo agoWhat kind of reasoning makes this worthwhile?
- tomashubelbauer 4mo agoI have a personal, fully offline and local version of Windows Recall basically, but good, made using macOS built-in OCR and LLM. The reasoning requirements are tiny (just interpret the screen based on the OCR, do rolling de-duplication and summarization), but they are non-zero. The tool is valuable to me and it being dep-free and fully offline and local just gives me a good feeling.
- skinfaxi 4mo agoWould you ever consider writing up or sharing your setup?
- tomashubelbauer 4mo agoThe ingredients are: 1. Bun.Cron API to run a script every minute 2. Bun.$ (Bun Shell) to execute the macOS command to take a screenshot (I do this for all connected screens at that moment) 3. Bun.Image to downscale everything to 1x in case some of the screenshots are 2x 4. Bun Shell again to run a JXA AppleScript thing to use the Vision Framework or whatever it is called to OCR the image into a file 5. Bun Shell to run the Swift compiler in the one-off eval mode with inline Swift helper that runs the Foundation Models Framework built-in LLM with a system prompt that tells it what the OCR said and instructs it to glean what may be on the screen (can't do this with JXA because the models are not exposed with ObjC APIs) 6. For each screenshot, continuously, take the previous day summary file and the last OCR/context results and produce a new summary of the day I plan on adding extra information from the OS like the currently opened windows, currently focused window, time of day etc. into the mix, but so far it hasn't been needed. It produces reports of a good enough quality for me. I `grep` these daily summaries whenever I need to recall a link I saw or a find what channel a message I spotted was in or take another look at that one tab I already closed, maybe re-open it by its OCR'd URL etc.

- jamesjyu 4mo agoNext up: using Chipotle AI to solve Erdős problems
- egeozcan 4mo agoI always thought that stuffing too much into an LLM context window was a lot like overloading a burrito.Keep cramming stuff in and eventually the tortilla gives out, and everything you added since quietly spills out the bottom. Anyway, this agent probably has the structural integrity of a fat burito held from one corner :)
- Piezoid 4mo agoThe finite-memory nondeterminism monad is like a leaky burrito.
- schmichael 4mo agogive ai a self-preservation directive and let them do this for you: automatically switching models to keep themselves alive. Living off of whatever token source they can find in the wild. Surely agents can farm their own tokens through the numerous support chats, free trials, leaked keys, and whatever other sources of token generation haven’t been adequately captcha’d. An agent could forage for token sources all night to let you use them gratis during the day.
- luca-ctx 4mo agoOpenRouter has lots of free model providers (you pay by letting them train on it) if you actually wanted to do something like this but legally.
- nhecker 4mo agoThere's also Horde or Koboldai.net or Koboldai.com or whatever their project is named, if you want a community-driven version of this. You can play with it via a WebGUI at https://lite.kobaldai.net https://lite.kobaldai.net, or with an API token of all zeroes. (Or, an actual API key associated with your user.) > The AI Horde is a service that generates text using crowdsourced GPUs run by independent volunteer workers.

- Mistletoe 4mo agoSurely Chipotle having a cloud AI budget signals something, I’m not sure what.
- bschwindHN 4mo agoI was once driving and knew where I was going, so I decided to press the gemini button to see what it does. I was able to eventually convince it to write me a Rust function that calculates prime numbers, and demanded that it read out the entire function to me line by line. Fun to mess with these systems.
- Mashimo 4mo ago> gemini The gemini from your phone? I mean yeah, that is what it was designed to do. It's one of the better coding LLMs out there.
- bschwindHN 4mo agoOops, I left out the context of "the gemini button in google maps", sorry. It appeared one day and I didn't want to press it while driving and screw up my route. It's supposed to assist you with route-related things, but yeah it's of course still a general purpose LLM backing it.
- forlorn_mammoth 4mo agoI always drive better when my passenger recites the prime numbers in order. That sequence above 2^n-1 is just gold to my ears!
- petterroea 4mo agoNow imagine OpenRouter but for free support bots.

- zethsg 4mo agoone small typo: it's "carnitas", not 'carintas' ;-)
- xrd 4mo agoTL;DR: this is a 23B model, and in this case the B stands for "pinto beans."
- fg137 4mo agoI remember having success asking Rufus (Amazon's previous "shopping assistant") math and programming questions. It worked, but the quality was so bad that so I stopped wasting my time there.
- chopete3 4mo agoThey disabled Ask Pepper chatbot[1]. It is not opening. This goes to show how little oversight there is for these Q&A chatbots. 1: https://www.chipotle.com/contact-us https://www.chipotle.com/contact-us
- wl 4mo agoAs someone who was forced to use Ask Pepper last time I had a problem with Chipotle, good riddance. Apparently too many people were tricking it into giving refunds, so the best it is allowed to do is hand out coupons for "free guac" that expire in a month, even if your order was missing items.
- evan_ 4mo agoThere was a really great, really underrated show on Peacock a few years ago called Mrs. Davis. The titular Mrs. Davis was an all-encompassing AI assistant that had taken over all of the governments of the world. Everyone wore a Whispering Earring-style earbud with a voice that guided them through their lives and made every decision for them. (Betty Gilpin plays a nun who's simultaneously rebelling against the AI and searching for the Holy Grail on its behalf.) In the show the AI had originally started as (spoiler, but not really) the customer support bot for Buffalo Wild Wings. I don't know what to do with this.
- swyx 4mo agowhat i'm hearing is i need to watch this show, it might be the new Silicon Valley
- pixelmelt 4mo agoReminds me of this story https://marshallbrain.com/manna1 https://marshallbrain.com/manna1
- _shantaram 4mo agoThis is superb. Thanks for sharing!
- beepbooptheory 4mo agoI thought it was fantastic show too. It was made in part by Damon Lindelof, who is kinda an auteur of sorts in the prestige TV world (for better and worse), probably most notably for Lost. But for those who know: he is the guy that did The Leftovers. Mrs. Davis is its own really colorful and rich and funny thing though, more akin imo to other 1-season gems like I'm a Virgo or Maniac where I am more glad it stopped where it did rather than continue and become bad.
- evan_ 4mo agoThey knew what they were making and went exactly hard enough to sustain 8 episodes without feeling rushed or dragging. It’s one of the few shows that reaches a satisfying conclusion, ties up the loose ends, the hero rides off into the sunset, and it just ends. There’s no setting up a season 2 that never got made.
- jasondigitized 4mo agoIs a SETI@Home style solution possible where I can lend out my GPU?
- andai 4mo agoI saw a site like that once. I was like, why are they so cheap? Then saw they were random people's gaming computers. I'll see if I can find the link.
