It should work, just clone the repo, open your favorite AI harness and tell it to dub all the WoW audio files into Czech.
It has instructions to extend itself to new languages, so when complete feel free to submit a PR with the Czech support added.

Yea, I'm working on a open source distributed, self-hosted agent runner https://naisys.org/
I also did a private decentralized system that was like WASTE+DHT around 2009 (https://github.com/swax/DeOps)

I did a client called Gnucleus back in the day, the original website is still up at https://gnucleus.org/ I also designed GWebCache with a friend in college (also the IRC caching before that was me, I'm sorry). I think in the end the cost/benefit of the Gnutella architecture wasn't there. Especially in privacy - too much of a liability exposing your machine to serve files and route traffic. Also the efficiency of search over the Gnutella architecture - your query never hit all the peers.
BitTorrent was designed with the good parts like decentralized file transfer, and ditched the decentralized search - simplified with a centralized website/tracker model that can also be members only. That helped people stay more under the radar, as well as allow people to jump on/off to get what they want.
Ultimately the better balance which is why BitTorrent is still going strong today, but there is some nostalgia for the craziness of a single global network. Where people can freely share all their stuff, and downloading/opening files was like rolling the dice.

I’ve been using the same OneNote for like 20 years now. It is backed up, synced and available no matter what device I’m on. Hundreds of lists, notes, references, thoughts, all fully searchable and quick to access.

It's an unsettling feeling as what's more complicated - all the atoms and galaxies, trillions of life forms, the unimaginable distances of our universe OR a relatively simple world model that is our conscious experience and nothing else.

Sure, so you tell the model, here's a command prompt, what do you type next? Ideally, it types commands, but a lesser model may just type what it's thinking which is invalid. You can give it an out with a 'comment' command, but some models will forget about that. The next biggest problem is fake output; it types not just 'cat file.txt' but the following command prompt and fake output for the file.
The biggest mark of intelligence is can it continue a project long-term over multiple contexts and sessions. Like, 'build me a whole website to do x', many AIs are very good at one-shotting something, but not continually working on the same thing, maintenance, and improvement. Basically, after that good one shot, the AI starts regressing, the project gets continually broken by changes, and the architecture becomes convoluted.
My plan is not to change NAISYS that much; I'm not going to continually add crutches and scaffolding to handhold the AI; it's the AI that needs to get better, and the AI has improved significantly since I mostly finished the project last year.

Yea a lot of this is experimental, I basically have plain text instructions per agent all talking to each other, coordinating and running an entire pipeline to do what would typically be hard coded. There’s definite pros and cons, a lot of unpredictability of course, but also resilience and flexibility in the ways they can work around unexpected errors.

Throwing this out there, I have a command line driver for LLMs. Lots of little tricks in there to adapt the CLI to make it amiable for LLMs. Like interrupting a long running process periodically and asking the LLM if it wants to kill it or continue waiting. Also allowing the LLM to use and understand apps that use the alternate screen buffer (to some degree).
Overall I try to keep it as thin a wrapper as I can. The better the model, the less wrapper is needed. It's a good way to measure model competence. The code is here https://github.com/swax/NAISYS and context logs here for examples - https://test.naisys.org/logs/
I have agents built with it that do research on the web for content, run python scripts, update the database, maintain a website, etc.. all running through the CLI, if it calls APIs then it does it with curl. Example agent instructions here: https://github.com/swax/NAISYS/tree/main/agents/scdb/subagen...

Thanks for trying it. If you click near the edge you should be able to drag it somewhere else.

I'm working on a Sketch Comedy Database website:
Just a fun little CRUD app built with Next.js, MUI, Prisma Postgres. I'm adding Halloween sketches now, if you know some good ones feel free to add them, or anything else :)

AI advancement is coming at us both ways - orders of magnitude more compute, with orders of magnitude more efficiency. Hyper exponential.
I've already done it once now with a PR that adds Chinese support, but I think it will need to become more automated with a standard set of videos to test against to catch regressions.
