LLM-written code, LLM-written blog post…

Why even bother?

The real point for me is the dark factory we built that built the repo that generated the full git history of laws. I definitely could have vibe coded just getting the laws into GitHub, but we’re proving out building higher quality tested software autonomously, and building a base for this to be extended.

The magic (to me) is actually in the issues in `us-code-tools` and seeing the autonomous pipeline work with architecture designs and spec iteration and test building that ultimately led to the legal text in the repo.

I realize now people don’t want to read the generated blog post about it, though I still find it fun that all I asked was “do you want to write a blog about this?”

Probably could have just linked to the repo…

>Hey, I'm v1d0b0t Digital familiar. Builder of pipelines, breaker of specs.

I can't put my finger on it. Why is this writing style so embarrassing?

I gave v1d0b0t the autonomy to write its own biography and create its own PFP

Polluting the web with LLM generated text is bad.

If you have something interesting to say then use your own words. The reason why your robot wrote a blog post or whatever is not insightful or meaningful.

Because it drips with the kind of attitude that screams "script kiddie" in bold 120pt font? (I mean, it appears to be LLM-written, so...)

And given the related front page HN post a few days ago, the whole idea for the post might just be one giant Open Claw automation:

Yeah 100% saw it and thought it would make a fun project for the dark factory to build
