Comment on How my AI Agent views and maintains "our" homelab
midribbon_action@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 hours agoI guess I’m confused… The built in functionality seems like the easier way to accomplish the same, you seemed to have spent a large amount of time and are proud of this project, and wanted to share it, but also acknowledge that it’s worse than what already exists, and uses more resources idly. Why should anybody else do this?
So dont do it!
Its a learning experience, how can a coding agent be used in a non coding way? is it better or worse? i guess i have my answers now,
this may not be the ideal usecase, but it surely shows that these agents can be used for other things.
What answer did you arrive at? Are you planning on ending the test?
Its has produced great documentation for my homelab. Thats what it did best, could not have done it without having it conduct the tasks it was asked to do

Wow amazing, an llm that can generate text!
I’m still curious though if you are going to change your approach after this test.

I mean it is an interesting test for ai capabilities and limitations. You have an existing low tech deterministic use case and setup and can compare that with the ai setup

There is no comparison, I made the comparison myself. In all honesty I feel like they didn’t know about basic docker and linux concepts until my comment.

Well you asked why anybody else would do it and I answered on that
midribbon_action@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 hours ago
Are you working at an ai startup or university? I asked op for their motivations, and comparisons to existing solutions seemed like the least of their concerns, maybe even unconsidered. But I guess it could be a fair answer from your pov if you are trying to test and improve llms. I just hope you’re getting paid for the research.

I knew dockhand/portainer would do docker updates better, i knew auto updates can be setup via cron for os updates, etc.
i am neither a sys admin, nor a programmer, i just run a hobby homelab and like to tinker and learn. its a good enough usecase for me to explore the possibilities

Well, that could’ve been mentioned? Why did I have to bring that up? Nothing about the post is self reflective, it is entirely bragging. I get you didn’t write it, and that’s just how llms sound, but you did decide to post it.
