AI Generated everything at all:
Congratulations, this is the most comprehensive experiment on AI I’ve recently come across!
Everything is done with an AI, including the perfect synced lyrics. A “digital masterpiece” 
I’m not a huge fan of AI in general but I must admit that with a skilled developer in control of the process, it may turn into a valuable aid.
PS: have you tried Claude Projects?

The environemental cost (this uses a lot of energy and water and emits a lot of CO2) makes me worried about what people consider “valuable”. Well, you can enjoy turning investor money into climate change without having to pay anything by yourself, for now. We will see what happens when the investors get tired of it and start to try actually making people pay for what they use.
Also, recent studies on using AI as a coding assistant show that people feel more productive while using it, but are actually working just as fast as before. And introducing 36% more bugs in their code (that’s for things like Github Copilot, which I follow a bit more closely because I’m mainly a developer).
I’m sure AI will find its uses in some specific cases, but I don’t think it will solve all the problems, and maybe no the problems people think it will.

No, I’m using limited free plan. Claude Projects is available for Pro only.

I share the same concerns and the overall value is yet to be proved. However, I’m keen to see where AI assisted programming can be applied and if it can really provide any value and at which cost.
There are several studies conducted independently (for example this one) that estimate the energy consumption of a human brain between 6 and 20 watt as opposed to one of the most powerful supercomputers in several orders of magnitude higher (21 x 10^6 W in this specific study). Human brain is by far the most efficient machine available and hard to beat also in its efficacy.

Beautiful, very nice Video and very nice Music and Text!
All AI?
The video you cut yourself, or?
AI made:
- writing screensaver code (I didn’t do any manual fixes to the code, if I noticed a bug and a need for tweaking, I asked the AI to fix the problem)
- the names of all screensavers were also suggested by the AI.
- the song lyrics were written by the AI based on the short descriptions of each screensaver, which were also written by the AI.
- music and song generated by the AI
- the script with timings of each action was written by the AI
- the opening text and credits are written by the AI
- youtube video description is also generated by AI
- even the prompts text for the AI to generate screensavers was pre-generated by the AI
What I did:
- screen capture
- video editing in OpenShot
- uploading the video to youtube )
- dialog with the AI

You gotta be kidding me, I spent a week to produce a fuzzyflakes clone just because it is consistent with my other systems, not knowing that AI already knows how to use the Haiku API and there was no point working on such vanity -_-
Cool experiment however.

@3dEyes can you add the prompts you used to the repository?
@3dEyes Wow, claude.ai is pretty amazing tbh… it even tells you the libraries you need.
I went ahead and told it to generate flying toasters in a similar fashion… and got this:
I haven’t compiled it yet, but it looks legit

In fact, it is not enough to enter a prompt and get a good result at once. The final code of screensavers is the result of an average dialog of 10-15 iterations with the indication of problems, corrections and improvements. And although I myself (according to the conditions of my experiment) did not make corrections, but I pointed out to the AI the errors in the code, which appear apparently due to the small amount of information about Haiku/BeOS API on which the model was trained

Saw the same thing when I asked it to write a yab program. First it had no idea what yab was. I told it that it was a programming language for the haiku operating system and it then managed to write a program for me that looked good, but didn’t have ID$ for the widgets. And so on.
Still, you can see the possibiities. Imagine an AI that doesn’t have to be general-purpose, that isn’t expected to make smalltalk about the weather in Vladivostok, but has been exclusively trained on every line of code (C++, bash, yab, python, perl, ruby, you name it) known to work in Haiku, including the documentation. We can call it Bashō, after the famous Japanese poet.

Training an LLM is not impossible but would require a significant chunk of work. Claude already has the capability of accepting a markdown file which includes the code of your project, if applicable, other code snippets and the documentation for the libraries and API used.
I haven’t tried it and don’t know if it’s available only with the non-free tier (Projects) but nevertheless it’s there.

Since you’re talking about LLMs. I ported Llama.cpp to Haiku. Thing is no model is capable to be ran without proper hardware acceleration, even the small ones are unusable : P . Also doesn’t claude also have a memore feature like ChatGPT. Maybe inputting HaikuAPI knowledge into it would make it a better Haiku’er.

It may be interesting for you guys that Anthropics crawlers are essentially DDoS-ing websites whose content they scrape without consent with a million requests a day.
Source: Anthropic’s crawler is ignoring websites’ anti-AI scraping policies - The Verge
While I’m generally not a fan of this AI nonsense,Anthropic/Claude seems to be the most evil of those companies.
Just wanted to let you know,make of this what you want

That’s probably the reason why Claude is so smart!
The article also reads that Claude does not crawl if robot.txt is properly configured. In fact, it immediately stopped when iFixit did that.
It may sound questionable but definitely not “evil” to me.

Same people will soon ask you to put a panel facing each of your house doors and windows to say robbing is not allowed. You know because otherwise the people breaking in are not aware that it’s illegal. And since, in this case, they can’t be convicted, insurance company will not cover either… None will force you but you will have the choice between panels everywhere or allow people to use your home as a self service.
They educated people to accept evil, telling them it’s not the same thing. But really, it isn’t?

This suprises me a bit. I thought robots.txt has been the established standard for this for years. Why did iFixit not have this properly configured before?
I agree the ammount is a bit ridicilous, but is what would be expected if a crawler tried to index the entire site at once.
For reference: about half of the traffick on this site is from crawlers.
Most is from uptime-koma (still cant figure out if that is haiku run or foreign…)
After that search engines,
then SEO optimization bs, then social media garbage and only after that comes AI.
So for us I don’t think this is a big problem, but it sure is uneccesary traffic.
