    Somewhere in here there's a joke about how many tokens it takes to turn on a lightbulb.

      It deserves a minor rewrite of the Black Mirror episode Fifteen Million Merits where people do menial labor like folding laundry and washing dishes to earn tokens so that their LLM will dispense their toothpaste and send Studio Ghibli stylized birthday cards to their friends.

        inb4: When sama and co talk about UBI, they mean a variation of it based around a memecoin tethered/indexed on (tik)tokens.

    I also have been working with Daily on https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat-esp32

    I see so much potential if I can make hardware hacking + WebRTC easy. Not just for AI assistants but security cameras + robotics. If anyone has questions/ideas/feedback here to help :)

      what is Daily?
      • Sean-Der 25 minutes ago
        https://www.daily.co/

        You can use it to build lots of different real-time communication projects. Conferencing, Send your audio/video to GPU servers for AI, broadcasting and lots more.

        It’s a super fun space to be in

    If you want to know what this is about, here’s the video they provided:

    I love seeing that hackathons are encouraged inside OpenAI and most importantly, that their outcome is also shared :)

    Is it my browser, or does the video in the readme not have sound?
    • Sean-Der 46 minutes ago
      No sound! YouTube video in README does.

      I was tempted to put Erik Satie in the README video. Didn’t want to risk copyright issues

    I get that this is as-is, but I wonder if so many ultra-alpha products don't dilute the OpenAI brand and create redundancy in the product line. It feels like the opposite of Apple's well thought out planned product design and product line.

    Let's see if it pays out.

      This is just a hackathon project. Not a product in any way.

      My primary work is on backend WebRTC servers. This was just an outlet/fun side thing to do client and embedded work. I love writing C and do microcontrollers. I just can’t seem to find a way to do it full time:(

      For a developer platform having examples is useful as a starting point for new projects.

      Also, I’m not sure if it’s similar at OpenAI, but when I was at Google it was much easier to get approval to put an open source project under the Google GitHub org than my personal user.

      They're selling shares at a $500B valuation. The market is telling them everything they are doing is amazing.
