"Real API calls, real latency, real bills. Caveats are stated, not buried." -- Gosh, who talks like this? No human would. Claude does. Wannable confident, arrogant, and super annoying. Stated, not implied. ;-)

very cool! I'd be curious how some songs I know sound like, e.g., Stairway to heaven, nothing else matters, etc.

Very much besides the point. The point being that automation often enables other things, not just making the thing they automate directly more efficient.

"So if you can't collect enough data before building, and simulation won't give it to you, where does the data come from? Goldberg's answer is what he calls the data avalanche: build a working system using engineering plus some learning, ship it, then let production generate the training data." -- agreed! This is also the approach taken by Field AI if I'm not mistaken. Rather than calling it the data avalanche, you could also just describe it as "learning by doing".

nice idea and setup, but it doesn't work. I can request control, it will say "you are next" or similar, and then right away "time's up, return to games". I never get control.

love the synthwave soundtrack! So full of action and out of style for chess, it's hilarious.

great idea! Now, you are running into the same issue Google Trends had to solve: term disambiguation. For instance, "atom" is ambiguous in a comparison of editors like this: https://hackernewstrends.com/?q=sublime&q=atom&q=vscode. Given LLMs it might be possible to use an embedding vector (with context) instead of a text string for indexing, and if you do, this problem might go away.

how is this different from using puppeteer to load the page and save the DOM as HTML?

A script or program is not a robot.
