Hell yeah, $516 for a complete AWS replacement, I'm in lol!
MattyLinky•1h ago
This is such a good idea. Hell yeah
binary0010•41m ago
Lol.
nine_k•1h ago
Hear me out: the same idea, but hire live developers.

(Given the price of tokens, it can even be not entirely a joke.)

Thats called Kickstarter
electronsoup•40m ago
If you put that behind an API, you could sell the service much like the AI providers
satvikpendem•35m ago
And then get sued for fraud and go under, like Builder.ai
fragmede•22m ago
What if, and I know this is utterly batshit insane to suggest, but what if we don't lie about what we're doing?
skeledrew•36m ago
Not affordable, unless the devs are in somewhere like Vietnam. And there's still no way they can build as fast. And still, at that price point, quality would be highly questionable. So yh this doesn't survive beyond the joke stage.
nine_k•24m ago
The mention of quality puts it firmly into the joke territory, indeed.

I feel like using Fable in the name is a mistake, who knows how long that model will be around.

xda-developers.com vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O2_Xda
vlovich123•54m ago
It's how they name classes of models, presumably this implies something about the relative quantization / size of model, not about the specific performance. E.g. Fabel 5 will be better than Opus 5, better than Sonnet 5, etc. The 5 is the version number of the particular iteration / training run at this class of model.
pseudocoup•13m ago
I think they mean: I feel like using [Sonnet/Opus/Fable] in the name [URL] is a mistake, who knows how long that model will be around
an0malous•13m ago
You could call it aiproductsexchange.com
andrewstuart2•9m ago
Bold move leaving out the dash between words a la experts-exchange lol.
TrueGeek•58m ago
So the completed sample was estimated at $0.35, actually cost $0.52, but spend $0.55

This bot is almost as bad as I am at estimating projects.

keyle•53m ago
This is literally an idea by the primegean on his YouTube under predictions. Self prophecy really with his reach but credit where it's due?
satvikpendem•34m ago
He's been right about other things before, such as this: https://youtu.be/m-bT5v5Tm7w
xpct•47m ago
Before putting in money to this small anonymous website, I'd love to hear about the people behind the project. There's a single mention of 'Barras Industries', but not much mention about them online, or what else they've worked on.
colesantiago•41m ago
This is a fantastic idea.

There are lots of projects, software that shouldn't be SaaS subscriptions that Fable can build in public that can be free for everyone and also OSS.

skeledrew•41m ago
Is this the new open source?
xyzsparetimexyz•37m ago
Fantastic idea for a rug pull
bensyverson•37m ago
This idea reads like a joke, but there's something to it.

One feature request: In addition to high-level milestones, it would be cool if a partially-funded project would generate a public, highly detailed implementation plan.

Also, IANAL but MIT is still a license with a copyright holder. I don't think saying "it's MIT, we all own it" is defensible. The courts might view all this code as public domain.

johnwheeler•35m ago
This is a good idea and for features and modifications you can make it so whoever chips in the most money gets more votes.

This is one of those ideas that sounds bad on paper (Like people renting out their houses. But if implemented correctly could get some traction.

evanwolf•30m ago
Kinda fun but the approach today is strictly oneshot. Waiting for agentswithwallets to post.
suddenlybananas•29m ago
https://fablepool.com/projects/7 It didn't even put a picture in!
parliament32•11m ago
I love how even the "demo build" doesn't work. https://fablepool.com/projects/7

Rather, it did work at milestone 14, but then regressed at milestone 15, where it changed the link from a wikimedia image to a nonexistent file in /assets (despite still having the "Photo via Wikimedia Commons" caption).

Everything turns into a computer game and entertainment.

Maybe add a "Build a worm that shuts down all Anthropic data centers."

stonesy88•10m ago
Brilliant idea! We need consensus protocols for voting on phases. Similar to the "twitch" plays Pokemon phenomenom.
