Maybe they should just cap the number of orders at the number of items they can make and ask anybody else to sign up on a list? Anybody who chooses option 1 is obviously evil?

I thought about that but I'm pretty sure that if the backlog is automatically clean and I don't need to run my skill for that when I start up in the morning that just means I can do the next task I would have done which will proba

Hi! I love to cook! I also use AI to brainstorm recipes sometimes! Wanna try asking Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or even Grok what temperature chicken needs to be cooked to? I just asked Claude: 165°F (74°C) internal temperature. Where does thi

I'm actually sort of working on this! https://github.com/ctoth/propstore -- it's like Cyc, but there is no one answer. Plus knowledge bases are literally git repos that you can fork/merge. Research-paper

For each paper, have your agent extract a three sentence description, create a description.md, then concat those with the paper names into an INDEX.md which it should consult to find appropriate papers. Also: have your agent tag papers, the
