I wonder why people are more eager to pool money to pay a corporate-owned computer to build things than to the actual humans who have been building open source for decades? Much of which has ended up in the training set?
- eptcyka 5mo agoHumans are more expensive.

If you specced the goal well and it is feasible, a decent model will most likely get you decent progress. Also who would take on any of these projects for a meager 200$? Most of that stuff is borderline interesting, clearly not interesting enough for the people proposing the things to start working on them themselves.
- nullbio 5mo agoExactly. This screams crowdfunding for AI labs. Who made this? Someone at Anthropic?
- sanreds 5mo agoFablepool spends Anthropic's inference budget and puts the output under MIT, thats not growing Anthropic's moat, its commoditizing it. Anthropic just sells the API calls either way.
