    Is the person best known for exploiting security vulnerabilities to get into places you'd rather they didn't, and then getting lost and taking forever to get places the ideal namesake for your AI workspace project?

      Sounds pretty consistent with my experience.

      Out of all the homeric heroes, the main characters are just one tragic flaw after another. Odysseus is pathologically distrustful, Achilles is a diva that throws temper tantrums.

      You gotta pick a dude like Sarpedon who just was a swell guy poking holes in greeks with his spear until he gets killed by Patroclus and everyone is sad.

      keep in mind pewdiepie is probably the worst dev name ontop

        I can think of worse. Inspired by somewhat surrealist names of a cat video, I'm pretty sure naming them "HP Inkjet 3482" would be a worse name for an AI model and lead to copyright issues from Hewlett-Packard.

    Pewd's video provides more context [1].

    I didn't see it linked from the project; it seems pretty relevant given who he is.

      I liked this part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAzT5lcezPs&t=524s

      where he describes sending an AI generated email response as "the most polite fuck you to someone that they will never know".

      The original email asked him sth like "how many parameters does deepseek v3 have" that "he could have easily searched himself".

    PewDiePie on Hackernews what a time to be alive!

    I really wonder if people who make such projects actually use them on a regular basis. I cannot imagine myself working with these UIs.

    Can anyone recommend something similar but cleaner and more polished?

    Why not just use open webui?
    • andai 14 minutes ago
      I tried installing openwebui once. I gave up after the first 12 gigabytes of pip packages. Made my own LLM chat UI in 500 lines of HTML/JS. That's really all I needed.

      This project does look fun though.

      Open webui isn't fully open source, because it doesn't allow you to change or remove Open Webui branding.

      I don't know if that was a motivation for creating this, but it is a reason some people might choose not to use it.

        The truth is, there's something about the vibe coder hive mind where they all create the same thing. Everyone is working on the same thing. There's hundreds of projects like this where the creator thinks they've created the most unique powerful thing.

        I think it demonstrates how overuse of LLMs for brainstorming/planning and building destroys creativity. That zeitgeist changes from month to month, but when a vibe coded "AI Native" project gets released you'll always see dozens of people in the replies talking about the identical project they've also built or are working on.

        I also notice this in my own work, the people who have most eaten the LLM brainworm will come to me asking for us to build the same projects. They all eventually converge to wanting some sort of power user app (like this) that can just do everything because AI is magic to them and there's no reason why it can't do everything.

        I hate Peter Thiel but he has that famous quote form years ago where he says not to build the obvious thing because the obvious thing isn't special, so maybe this has always been a phenomenon.

    It reminds me of the Nord theme https://github.com/nordtheme/nord

    What would make an existing OpenUI/Open WebUI user switch to this?

    PewDiePie build a self hosted AI workspace. It looks interesting.
  • dakolli 34 minutes ago
    It will be interesting to watch him deal with hundreds PRs.

    i write an agent in C, create my own models. crickets. pewdiepie gets into programming on a whim creates slop, 3k stars.

    Now waiting for some VC-backed AI company to pick up PewDiePie like they did with the OpenClaw guy.
    • dakolli 1 hour ago
      Somehow he probably will make millions from this just cuz he has a personal brand, despite it being a pile of slop.
      • petterroea 1 hour ago
        Oh yeah definitely, if he went in for doing software he would make millions for free.

    reminds me of the milla jovovich vibecoded ai memory project that got a little bit of hype but was mostly junk... guessing we're going to see a lot more "developer talked to a celebrity and came up with an idea for their money"

    God the UI design is atrocious.
    • dakolli 1 hour ago
      All these inexperienced vibe coders build identical slop UI, but what's funny is they usually think its super unique and are super proud of it. I hate them all.
