I think this line of thought culminates in thinking that data with zero cost of duplication isn't a product that can be bought or sold. Just download it. The answer is that laws exist to protect propery and you must have property to be protected. Data isn't property, and so can't be protected from duplication. You're right in questioning the practice because it isn't logical.

I want something that will let me hook up the output of a llm to a bash terminal and put that terminal output right back into the bash terminal, maybe in a container. I would want to have another prompt that would be for instructing the llm on what its goal is. For example, make a script that prints out an ascii picture of a cat. The llm then gets to work on the bash terminal, using VI or whatever to bang out the script. The the supervisor llm would be able to ask questions or get additional input when it wanted to. I would want this to be sane and not awful to use. Points for free software. Big points for locally hosted.

I just use the jellyfin app for my music

Jellyfin is great, pers, and is superior along the one axis that matters: freedom.

I mean that software, in it's written form, is the documentation of knowledge from software development, a service. I view sciencing as another service that produces knowledge. Knowledge has zero cost of duplication and, as such, cannot be considered a product. Artifacts that are produced by the application of knowledge are products because they have a non-zero cost of duplication. Computer hardware is an example of a product. I don't view intellectual property as property either. Software, in my opinion, isn't a product. Software is knowledge. I don't claim to be correct. I'm attempting to share my point of view. Anything with zero cost of duplication isn't a product in my mind because these things are infinitely copyable once created. Once a mathematician discovers a math they don't retain rights to it. Charging money for software is, in my view, no different than trying to make people pay for secret knowledge. You might be able to keep the secret locked down for a while, but it will get out eventually. Knowledge is the closest thing we have to magic, and if we choose to view it through the zero sum lens of capitalism, I think that does society a disservice in the long run. If I were a wizard I would share the magic, not try to charge money to teach people a spell or two. It might be the case that all products are knowledge given form, but keep in mind that knowledge exists before and after discovery and its fruits/artifacts must be created with work.

I just want free software. The oss is redundant to me.

The entire idea of agents being connected to every "good" network the stake holders have connections to (ex. streaming services) rubs me the wrong way. People ought to talk about the upcoming future of software agents by emphasizing that you can choose which networks they hook up to. I can't imagine a more dismal future than having to try and jailbreak a software agent to get it to hook up to irc or the BitTorrent network, or not being able to use an alias and having mandatory realnaming to interact with these things. Where's the GNUagent people?

Very cool! I would really like to be able to change which samples for each part play individually as well. Also expanding to allow for one custom track and a piano roll would be pretty awesome. If those two things were added I could imagine people using this to make tracks. Neat site.

I completely agree and want to add that the readme file does a good job of letting me know what this thing is and why I should use it. I really appreciate when developers take the time to be inclusive by writing for a less technical audience. I will at least try it out and see what it is all about. I have been looking to add more services to my pihole.

It comes with an app subscription. Lolwut

I feel like git should have a standardized howto.md or something that gives you some version of instructions on how to use the software in this repo. Especially in a case like this where there's no context as to what this thing needs to be used for how it's useful why I should use it what the advantages might be etc.

Service as a software substitute. Weak. Imagine the world where this nonsense is taken to its logical conclusion. I am really interested in trying to use fifos / named pipes for interprocess communication with a locally running llm piping into a terminal. The llm would be trained to expect a bash terminal's output while attempting to accomplish some goal. Its outputs would be bash commands. The bash terminal would be piped to be the input of the llm. Circular loop. Other than security, I'm curious why I haven't seen any kind of project like this for automating autonomous agents. You could run it in a VM on the first computer. Is anyone aware of something like that, that isn't vaporware? I don't want a black box OS. I want an OS with a highly skilled pair programmer in-line with me at a terminal that I can call up when I get curious or want to know the smart person way to fix something. As a self taught computer person who does software as a hobby, something like that would be really attractive.
