Show HN: FablePool – pool money behind a prompt, and Fable builds it in public
- Uptrenda 4mo agoIt would work if an engineer steered the pools. But doing this autonomously is a pipe dream.
- matthewbarras 4mo agothere's a job going if you fancy it... pool steersman
- contingencies 4mo agoWe have a saying in Australia: "Up shit creek without a paddle."
- Eridrus 4mo agoHell yeah, $516 for a complete AWS replacement, I'm in lol!
- ____tom____ 4mo agoReminds of the four college kids that were going to clone Facebook. Turns out it's hard than it looks, if you have never tried it.
- ThunderSizzle 4mo agoThe coding isn't the hard part. It's the people and networking. Facebook's only moat is HOA boards that think private communication behind Facebook groups somehow equates to public messaging a community... In other words, once people got on it, it was too late.
- MeetingsBrowser 4mo agoI wonder how the estimates are being created. I doubt an LLM would estimate an AWS rewrite to cost $500.
- selcuka 4mo agoIf you look at the milestones it's a small subset of AWS features, but yeah, the estimate is still off.
- MattyLinky 4mo agoThis is such a good idea. Hell yeah
- binary0010 4mo agoLol.
- nine_k 4mo ago[flagged]
- digitaltrees 4mo agoI wonder why that didn’t happen on kick starter. Product hunt was kind of this. It’s actually interesting. Why didn’t this ever happen?
- eob 4mo agoI think because you don't know /which/ developer you're going to get. One interesting aspect of LLMs is that each one, weights frozen, can be thought of as a single developer whose work you have already evaluated. The cost of finding, evaluating, and negotiating with a new human is tremenous.
- cortesoft 4mo agohow expensive do you think tokens are, and/or how cheap do you think a developer is?
- matheusmoreira 4mo agoSomeone posted 20k/month Fable budgets only a few days ago. That's nearly 250k/year, which is what Oxide pays their employees. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48471771 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48471771
- cortesoft 4mo agoThat is a ridiculous amount of AI usage, though, and will output way more code than a single developer.
- sailingparrot 4mo agoThats called Kickstarter
- 4mo ago
- fuddle 4mo agoI feel like using Fable in the name is a mistake, who knows how long that model will be around.
- fragmede 4mo agoEven if that product disappears, OpenAI will never Anthropic forget it.
- aaronbrethorst 4mo agoxda-developers.com vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O2_Xda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O2_Xda
- vlovich123 4mo agoIt's how they name classes of models, presumably this implies something about the relative quantization / size of model, not about the specific performance. E.g. Fabel 5 will be better than Opus 5, better than Sonnet 5, etc. The 5 is the version number of the particular iteration / training run at this class of model.
- pseudocoup 4mo agoI think they mean: I feel like using [Sonnet/Opus/Fable] in the name [URL] is a mistake, who knows how long that model will be around
- an0malous 4mo agoYou could call it aiproductsexchange.com
- andrewstuart2 4mo agoBold move leaving out the dash between words a la experts-exchange lol.
- akman 4mo agoalways have a backup plan (:
- TrueGeek 4mo agoSo the completed sample was estimated at $0.35, actually cost $0.52, but spend $0.55 This bot is almost as bad as I am at estimating projects.
- MeetingsBrowser 4mo ago> Build a completely greenroom, open source AWS > est. total target $516.00 Lol
- pitched 4mo agoA lot of AWS is built on open-source. This is obviously ignoring hardware costs. I don’t know if it is all that ridiculous anymore. These models are very good at wiring together open-source systems. The world is crazy right now…
- artisin 4mo agololz. build aws. no mistakes.
- LastTrain 4mo agoYou, my friend, have drunk from the goblet of koolaid.
- pitched 4mo agolol but at least in comes in a nice cup then
- DonHopkins 4mo agoCareful dude, that's not a goblet of koolaid, it's a bottle of Amazon Delivery Driver Urine!!!
- thayne 4mo agoAWS has over 200 services, so that's a little over $2 per service. Yeah, a lot of it is built on OSS, but there is a ton of it, and there is also a lot of work involved in building the APIs and web UI, and making it scalable , secure, and resilient. Now, you might be able to make a version of some small subset of aws services that runs works ok for a small scale for with relatively simple needs, for that many tokens, but I don't think that's what they were going for.
- xpct 4mo agoBefore putting in money to this small anonymous website, I'd love to hear about the people behind the project. There's a single mention of 'Barras Industries', but not much mention about them online, or what else they've worked on.
- inoreip 4mo ago[dead]

- matthewbarras 4mo agofair comment! i'll add a link but we're at barrasindustries.com
- Lupara 4mo ago[dead]
- keyle 4mo agoThis is literally an idea by the primegean on his YouTube under predictions. Self prophecy really with his reach but credit where it's due?
- satvikpendem 4mo agoHe's been right about other things before, such as this: https://youtu.be/m-bT5v5Tm7w https://youtu.be/m-bT5v5Tm7w
- mikestaas 4mo agoSlop cannons lol.
- colesantiago 4mo agoThis is a fantastic idea. There are lots of projects, software that shouldn't be SaaS subscriptions that Fable can build in public that can be free for everyone and also OSS.
- skeledrew 4mo agoIs this the new open source?
- hirako2000 4mo agoAt least it recognizes that energy deserves funding, ideally beforehand. Yet it would be harder to sell if a human asked for payment, even if delivery was guaranteed.
- xyzsparetimexyz 4mo agoFantastic idea for a rug pull
- Bombthecat 4mo agoYeah, already several thousands in it
- bensyverson 4mo agoThis idea reads like a joke, but there's something to it. One feature request: In addition to high-level milestones, it would be cool if a partially-funded project would generate a public, highly detailed implementation plan. Also, IANAL but MIT is still a license with a copyright holder. I don't think saying "it's MIT, we all own it" is defensible. The courts might view all this code as public domain.
- 8note 4mo agoif fable is writing it, courts my declare that its not even public domain? not a copywrightable work
- NewJazz 4mo agoThat'll translate across copyright jurisdictions.
- lwyrup 4mo agoI don’t know, if the design itself is copyrighted you could argue that the AI is just a bunch of hired workers that built it for extremely low wages. If I hired a bunch of people to build me a house, and I drafted the architectural plans with the help of a paid architect, neither the architect nor the builders have ownership over the home. So if a collection of people design something together maybe that has merit, they collectively paid for Anthropic to build it for them…
- jonhohle 4mo agoI’m pretty sure copyright office has settled that already. Inly human expression can be copyrighted: > As described above, in many circumstances these outputs will be copyrightable in whole or in part—where AI is used as a tool, and where a human has been able to determine the expressive elements they contain. Prompts alone, however, at this stage are unlikely to satisfy those requirements. https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intelligence-Part-2-Copyrightability-Report.pdf https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intell...
- johnwheeler 4mo agoThis is a good idea and for features and modifications you can make it so whoever chips in the most money gets more votes. This is one of those ideas that sounds bad on paper (Like people renting out their houses. But if implemented correctly could get some traction.
- matthewbarras 4mo agothank you!
- evanwolf 4mo agoKinda fun but the approach today is strictly oneshot. Waiting for agentswithwallets to post.
- suddenlybananas 4mo agohttps://fablepool.com/projects/7 https://fablepool.com/projects/7 It didn't even put a picture in!
- JohnMakin 4mo ago"I want an open source AWS" with $500 budget made me guffaw
- squidsoup 4mo agoOpenStack already exists
- LearnYouALisp 4mo ago"I have a turbofan model, pls build an Airbus" sounds about right
- theYipster 4mo agoAll for $670 :) In all seriousness, I would probably throw $10 at a project to design and implement a modern turbofan FADEC + all of the certification artifacts.
- JohnMakin 4mo agoI got downvoted probably for tone which is my bad but what I’m laughing at is this person doesnt seem to understand why people pay for aws, it’s certainly not the laughably bad console or the buggy control plane. it’s the reliability guarantees granted by their massive physical infrastructure that was meant to replace sysadmin’s running racks in a closet and wrangling terrible ansible/chef playbooks. this literally already exists if you’re willing to maintain your own physical infra, and has for a long time - nothing aws does is that innovative software wise. maybe their managed k8s eliminates a ton of pain, but I dont know. it’s the reliability guarantee + support + not having to maintain physical servers. if youre willing to shirk all that and do it yourself why would you want aws? lol tldr; was laughing at the xy vibe of the ask
- parliament32 4mo agoI love how even the "demo build" doesn't work. https://fablepool.com/projects/7 https://fablepool.com/projects/7 Rather, it did work at milestone 14, but then regressed at milestone 15, where it changed the link from a wikimedia image to a nonexistent file in /assets (despite still having the "Photo via Wikimedia Commons" caption). edit: they removed it :^)
- CobrastanJorji 4mo agoIf you check "DEPLOYMENT.md," there is a lengthy list of deployment instructions for the app, and it includes creating an assets folder and putting an image of Claude Shannon in it. There are also other instructions, like "please make a favicon." So I think that bit is valid, the AI is simply farming out work to the human agent. My question, though, is why the "Live, public build log" only showing up to milestone 3, but the artifacts go up to milestone 15? And there are different index.html pages in the artifacts list, one for milestone 14 and one for milestone 15? Are there different conceptions of "milestone" in here? What's up with that?
- svnt 4mo agoI have found that on long-running tasks, many of the communication (and other) invariants get dropped at seemingly arbitrary points along the way. It probably just stopped doing the log.
- matthewbarras 4mo agoyeah.. deployment.md had instructions to stick a photo there, but rather than explain I just got rid. gonna work on a few examples and fund them so people can see it actually work
- 3adk1a 4mo agoEverything turns into a computer game and entertainment. Maybe add a "Build a worm that shuts down all Anthropic data centers."
- pitched 4mo agoThis, unfortunately, gets flagged for cyber and you would need to be on the unlocked Mythos.
- stonesy88 4mo agoBrilliant idea! We need consensus protocols for voting on phases. Similar to the "twitch" plays Pokemon phenomenom.
- kasince2k 4mo agoanyone who donates gets to vote (?)
- orliesaurus 4mo agoOk who wants to pool up to build GTA 7? /s
- brikym 4mo agoI think the bottleneck is testing. I want to build a replacement for Zwift, a virtual gym game for bike trainers and treadmills, but testing it could be difficult without a real person on real hardware. How does the LLM know about the hardware protocols and stuff like that.
- robbs 4mo agoSame way you’d do it without AI. Record sample data, test against that, generate more data, test IRL, record more data, loop until it’s good enough.
- fragmede 4mo agoI don't have one. how through is this blog post reverse engineering it? https://www.makinolo.com/blog/2024/07/26/zwift-ride-protocol/ https://www.makinolo.com/blog/2024/07/26/zwift-ride-protocol... ?

- matthewbarras 4mo agothank you!
- raincole 4mo agoMan, I really hope this kind of effort could be put into auditing the security situation of open source projects (via Mythos or not.)
- GodelNumbering 4mo ago"Solve Garbage Collection in C# for HFT · $10.00 raised of est. $200.00 target" This can't be serious. Broader point I am making is, what differentiates genuine ideas from the token burn? What happens when the pool exhausts but the task is not done?
- bethekidyouwant 4mo agoYou keep putting money into the slot and pulling the lever
- fragmede 4mo agoReal question is, how do you get press for this site after this falls off HN?
- jimkleiber 4mo agoBut at least collectively pulling it :-)
- nhinck2 4mo agoWhile standing around in a circle
- deleted 4mo ago[deleted]
- fragmede 4mo agoIt indicates the level of trust people have in the platform, and the combination of the product-platform behavior. If someone with the wherewithal to solve garbage collection for C# for HFT could actually describe why GC in C# was a problem, they wouldn't be asking for $10. But for $10, for something something you're dimly aware of is a problem? I'd throw $10 at some nonsense I read on the Internet. > What happens when the pool exhausts but the task is not done? Have a stupider LLM aggregate similar questions.

- anonym29 4mo agoNeat project idea, but truly ruined by requiring a google sign-in both to submit new projects and to donate to projects. Dead service to me until that's gone. Remember, Google aids and abets militaries of governments that the UN has found to be committing genocide. Weird how people seem to forget this.
- thunky 4mo ago> Dead service to me until that's gone. Lets just hope the project is able to soldier on without you.
- matthewbarras 4mo agoGoogle was just the easiest to implement first. Was planning Github next - or would you prefer smth else?
- anonym29 4mo agoMy first choice would be non-SSO. Let me pick a username (or email address) and a password. Btw, thanks for the response. Not sure why you got downvoted for it, but you have my gratitude for being one of few devs who are sincerely responsive to these types of concerns.
- efficax 4mo agoit's remarkable how easy it is to identify websites built with the "frontend-design" skill in Claude
- zzleeper 4mo agoI managed to write one that at least didnt had the font and colors (using 4.5) Yesterday, I prompted Fable to improve the frontend to make it look different from Claude style, gave detailed examples etc. 15 minutes and $32 dollars (!) later (used cursor lol) it gave me the shittiest more claudiest website ever, basically ignoring everything I asked

- digitaltrees 4mo agoAwesome idea.
- matthewbarras 4mo agothank you!
- jrpt 4mo agoSeems similar to open source bounties, which have been tried in the past and never succeeded. We've seen something like 20+ years of different attempts of voluntary donations to fund open source, and it never worked. Companies barely fund anything voluntarily. I'm taking the opposite approach with Supported Source (https://supso.org/ https://supso.org/) which is this: actually force companies to pay to use the project. Sell commercial licenses. Make it mandatory to using your software commercially. This approach works much, much better than voluntary donations.
- tgma 4mo agoI think there's a categorical difference between paying for long term maintenance voluntarily vs paying for something to exist. The latter works much better as the value prop is clear and you can scratch an itch. Kickstarter is similar.
- deleted 4mo ago[deleted]
- fragmede 4mo agoSooo.. what projects are most highly requested?
- danpalmer 4mo ago"Build a completely greenroom, open source AWS" – $700 This is engineering theatre (pun intended). The amount of hubris here is exceptional, the author doesn't even know that it's "clean room" rather than "green room". What does it even mean to build an open source AWS? There are many open source IaaS/PaaS components. Is the author suggesting any hardware design, because that's a critical component. The only possible result of this is an AWS fanfic. An art project that looks vaguely like a cloud provider on the surface if you squint, but with zero substance to it. And this criticism has nothing to do with AI. You'd get the same spending 100x that budget on any engineering team.
- madprops 4mo agoI forgot to fully describe the prompt since I already described it a bit on the title of the submission, which might be a problem. I hope the title of the submission itself is included alongside the prompt when giving instructions to the AI.
- ProofHouse 4mo agoMade something very close to this, but not model specific. Ill try to shape it up tonight and tmr and drop it, would be cool to colab!

- johnnyApplePRNG 4mo agoExcellent idea, I see a few issues though. First, your server is struggling. It took about 20+ seconds to respond just now, FYI. Second, it's not obvious to me that I can get my money back if something doesn't pan out / get approved by a certain date from the homepage alone. That might make people hesitant to put anything in if they think it might get locked in there forever if the site dies / you take it down / etc.
- danielrmay 4mo agoThis is actually kinda exciting. I threw in an open-source idea I've been playing with, and paid $25. I hope it comes back up soon or I'm going to have to put Fable on building a replacement.

- 827a 4mo agoReally fun idea that is simultaneously deeply embarrassing for Anthropic.
- kbr_ 4mo agoThis is precisely what I thought the other day. TBH my idea is slightly better. But I stopped after asking Claude about it. It categorically told me that the moment you fund a model, you are legally liable for its actions. How to get around it?
- ffsm8 4mo agoI doubt that's legally decided yet. There hasn't been precedent as it hasn't been challenged yet. I mean Claude will tell you because anthropic made it tell you that, doesn't mean it's true. GoFundMe and indigogo aren't responsible for the actions of the funded projects either, hence it's unlikely that any judge would decide that the liability would go to the platform if it can show it's doing it's best effort in moderation wrt illegal content If you mean just throw it together and then don't moderate at all then .. yeah, you'll be held liable. But that's not because of the person paying the prompt, it's because moderating illegal content is the responsibility of the platform provider.
- yreg 4mo agoAlmost all of the examples on the website are ridiculous, which in turn makes your project look bad. Imho you should wipe them, populate it with some realistic small scale ideas and be much more strict in review, at least for now.
- nailer 4mo agoThe first one I saw was local first memory for AI, which seemed entirely reasonable.
- danielrmay 4mo agoThank you! I'm actually using this adversarially (or maybe just an experiment) to compare it with an open source protocol that I've already begun to publish but am having trouble getting traction or review on due to it sitting awkwardly across so many domains: local first, capability, ux, security, personal AI memory, knowledge graphs. I have a reference implementation in Rust (I see this site built theirs in python - interesting) but I've been working more on building the right way to explain the need. It's hard to explain briefly, and so putting this prompt up was a way for me to possibly generate some interest and act as a little public marker for an idea: open-source user-owned memory infrastructure for AI and the importance that I think it represents. My vision and belief behind this project has been slowly building for the past two months - I think personal AI memory will become one of the most important layers in computing, and I'd like that layer to be inspectable, correctable, portable and truly owned by the humans it describes. I'd like to encourage any casual readers who might be interested to reach out to me.
- nailer 4mo agoIt seems weird that you would have about 3% of your revenue taken away by card providers you should just accept USDC.
- akch 4mo agoCan built project really have MIT license? Considering MIT license still holds copyright but AI generated code cannot by copyrighted?
- a-dub 4mo agoi built a turbofan https://app.confbuild.com/p/z459 now I want to build a complete Airbus as detailed as possible with give budget
- sigmar 4mo agoI'd love to see Anthropic (or someone with mythos access) create a cybersecurity version of this. So that I could create a pool that says "find security concerns in this github repo." Then the report from mythos gets sent to the code/project maintainer and revealed to the public (that paid for it) at the 90 day mark.
- stevefan1999 4mo agosounds like FableBugBounty
- sublinear 4mo agoThe target codebase cannot improve beyond the point that the reports are incorrect and a waste of money. There is also the question of whether humans can waste so much time reviewing AI code that the vulnerability is not patched before it is exploited. Another one is whether when the human is removed from the loop that the codebase becomes more vulnerable in some other ways.
- guessmyname 4mo agoFor your information, a group of Mythos-approved users at Apple, Google, Microsoft, and several other Project Glasswing partners have already been doing this for the past few months. We just can’t share many details publicly yet.

End game: own everything, including payments, and governments come begging and will protect him from citizen revolt. Supervillain/overlord territory.

I think the fact that it just works out of the box without an email speaks for itself. Feel free to make unlimited trials. I could care less atm.

- andai 4mo agoI wrote this to a friend in 2022: Here's an idea: reverse kickstarter 1. people post ideas 2. good ideas go viral 3. people pledge actual money to encourage someone to step forward and build it 4. interested creators make kickstarter type videos explaining their proposal for making the thing 5A. people vote on which proposal to accept, or maybe 5B. each backer can select a project to support --- Here steps 4 and 5 are replaced by Claude. Cool idea!

- realty_geek 4mo agoWould love to see non-technical audiences think like this. For years I've been trying to get estate agents to support an open-source real estate website builder. The pitch is obvious: instead of each agent paying thousands for a bespoke site, pool resources, fund the features you all need, and everyone benefits. Getting non-technical people to commit to something abstract before it exists is nearly impossible though. Hope a model like FablePool can change that. For the website builder, the open-source product is already there: https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder. It just needs momentum.

- tomaskafka 4mo agoIt seems highly suspicious that all the target cost estimates are for $150-$400, regardless if it’s a bench for pelican on bicycle, or a clone of AAA game. It reminds me of scam eshops where everything cost $random dollars in a hope that someone will enter a credit card number.
