Done. You have 2/3rds of Discord or Slack solved as just an insignificant fraction of my Private Cloud Project I just shared. Not interested in video or voice right now, it's easy to solve though. Also you'd have to solve for the mobile apps.

Edit: If you keep checking back, I'll have a video showing off that application. It's a bit beefy to just get up and running.

How much does it actually matter? I use to bother with these settings, but never really seems to fix the problems I commonly see. The issues I commonly see are small models getting stuck in a repeating loop, or they just fail at follow up calls for editing.

This is probably the first small model I got through some simple web game tests without having to reset the context. It tends to opt to overwrite an entire file instead of doing edits... which editing is where most of these small models fall apart along with getting stuck in repeating loops. Only 24k tokens in so far, it did some decent newbie work.

Tool calling at Q8 for this model is kinda impressive. It's doing patch edits like a champ. It gets stuck looping and doing the wrong things though as the context window grows.

To me this seems to be lacking in usefulness. Maybe if I was hard "no AI", it might look useful, but how do you trust people anymore? You can't really follow the "trust but verify" philosophy here.

The only way to really have a GenAI free codebase today is simply by not accepting any external contributions.

Between banking, infra, or government institutions, you've already got a relationship with a vibe coder. You can't avoid it unfortunately.

It is only funny until that vibe coder is building the data warehouse that holds your data and doesn’t catch the vulnerability that leads to your data leaking.

Perhaps I can laugh at the next Equifax of the world as my credit score gets torched and some dude from {insert location} uses my details to defraud some other party. Of which I don’t find out about until some debt collector shows up months later.

I’d urge you to report it anyway. As someone that does use these tools I’m always on the lookout for other people pointing this type of stuff out. Like the .claude directory usage does irk me. Also the concise telegraphing on how some of the bash commands work bug me. Like why can it run some commands without asking me? I know why, I’ve seen the code, but that crap should be clearer in the UI. The first time it executed a bash command without asking me I was confused and somewhat livid because it defied my expectations. I actually read the crap it puts out because it couldn’t code its way out of a paper bag without supervision.

Not sure where you're looking, but you have companies like Minstral releasing Ministral 3 models for edge compute. Works fine on gaming PCs.

Edit: I doubt the "defaults" companies ship are going to matter much. We see what's happening with Microsoft and I've not met anyone that's happy with how LLMs are being shoveled into every digital product possible. Seriously, Microsoft doesn't need Copilot in their OS, they need to fix their stupid start menu decisions first.
