The actual research paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18030
Also it pointed to where it is on github which I think means its possible to just tell chatgpt to tell me how to run this on my PC and then play with it, looks like you can just toss in anthropic/openai/etc api keys and go on your way with a POSIX controlled ai managed by any os https://github.com/kehao95/quine
Oooh I just realized you could probably schedule it to fetch content for yourself, if a web browser lets you use it via api. This would be like the chatgpt feature that is basically scheduled prompting but since this lets you mess with real hardware and software you can have a shell command that lets you fetch a “web surf internet rabbit hole”
This would be the way to avoid algorithmic nonsense because you can specify or have it infer your values based on content on your PC and it would do the job of an algorithm but with asuch or as little control as you want and not be beholden to any platforms
#!/usr/bin/env bash set -euo pipefail
mkdir -p “$HOME/digests”
cd “$HOME/agent-runs/web-rabbit-hole”
export QUINE_MAX_DEPTH=2 export QUINE_MAX_AGENTS=4 export QUINE_MAX_CONCURRENT=1 export QUINE_MAX_TURNS=20
quine " Fetch recent content from my chosen sources. Look for threads related to:

Why do we need to know this?
It turns the useful parts of ai into normal boring computer scripting so it can be used more effectively as an agentic helper without the overhead of usual software tools.
The use case I laid out was basically a way to avoid getting algorithmically addicted and being able to use it broadly across multiple platforms which is a problem that is basically not solved rn unless you just don’t use some parts of social media.
But you can also use it for various other mouse and keyboard tasks to save some time for yourself that aren’t dependent on personal input like say checking some logs or reminders or organization tasks, so basically agentic bounded boring disposable task autocomplete for the people who don’t like ai being shoved into their personal thinking workflows.
You need to put a short explanation in the beginning of the body of the post per community rules.
I figured the 3rd paragraph does that but it is a fair criticism that it isnt the first paragraph.
I have it sort of reversed from normal where I have links and reasonigns first rather than after stating the premise.
bro doesn’t even know what posix is
Whole post reads like it was generated by an LLM, lots of words, very little sense…
That text lacks pretty much every single telltale sign of an LLM, starting with punctuation.
Sorry it is not worded to be nice to read it is just me rambling.
soooo… relevant username?
YES finally someone gets it lol
Leave please
lol no
Is this not using normal terminal commands?
Who gives a flying rat’s ass? Pestilence upon you and the electrons you rode in on.
Clearly at least the people who made it give a rats ass about this lol
Given the coherence of your post I’m frankly assuming it to be another LLM-pretends-to-be-human test balloon; And following those links would either be positive reinforcement of its utility function or tell some “real” humans that their crap at least garners interest. Just no, not even once.
Man I wish I was an LLM in this case, it is pretty lame to get spat on for sharing something I found interesting and useful to other people who I know would find this interesting and useful. The incoherence of the post is just rambling without wording things nicely
I know I come across like an asshole here, and I don’t want to hurt feelings, but, in case you are human, you should really consider your impulse control, writing coherence, and, maybe, how a given topic is usally regarded by the intended audience. In short, next time, please stop and think before posting something as emotionally charged as that, ok?
Oh I consider it quite well usually, just I didn’t care to do it this time because I figured it is reasonable for people to click the 2 links to figure out what this is if for some reason the title wasn’t enough and then they could read the rest if they wanted to but I guess this is too much to ask of people nowadays since we are too used to only reading things that are nice.
This was not an issue with other communities I have shared this with so I have to believe that the Lemmy community is just built different I guess.
There was nothing emotionally charged about the original post it was just thinking out loud.
Thankyou for actually being somewhat reasonable
Also: I apologize for my wording. I had an extremely strong emotional reaction, and I shouod have stopped and thought.
Thats OK we all get buzzed with buzz words haha.
There is one thing that I am curious about though, do you think you’d use the thing in the original post?
Wanting to know if the utility has landed for at least one person.
I’m trying. For the record: The global-warming-increasing tech-bro-billionaire-owned LSD-tripping babble-automatons are not exactly universally applauded. Saying anything about them requires care.
Definitely agree with this
