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

  • I'd love to see Anthropic (or someone with mythos access) create a cybersecurity version of this. So that I could create a pool that says "find security concerns in this github repo." Then the report from mythos gets sent to the code/project maintainer and revealed to the public (that paid for it) at the 90 day mark.

  • 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.

  • "Solve Garbage Collection in C# for HFT · $10.00 raised of est. $200.00 target"

    This can't be serious.

    Broader point I am making is, what differentiates genuine ideas from the token burn? What happens when the pool exhausts but the task is not done?

  • I wrote this to a friend in 2022:

    Here's an idea: reverse kickstarter

    1. people post ideas

    2. good ideas go viral

    3. people pledge actual money to encourage someone to step forward and build it

    4. interested creators make kickstarter type videos explaining their proposal for making the thing

    5A. people vote on which proposal to accept, or maybe

    5B. each backer can select a project to support

    ---

    Here steps 4 and 5 are replaced by Claude.

    Cool idea!

  • 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).

    edit: they removed it :^)

  • 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.
