If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
The article discusses the challenges of using AI agent orchestrators for code generation, highlighting the need for extensive safety guardrails that are difficult to implement and often don't exist yet. The author is working on building local systems for practical and secure AI orchestration without over-reliance on proprietary platforms, noting that even established projects like Yegge's Gas Town only address part of the problem and the overall complexity is substantial.

· 5 pulledNo I'm not, but not because I don't want to. To safely use an AI agent, it needs a ton of safety guardrails that (afaict) are difficult to set up.
A lot of the safety guardrails we need don't even exist yet.
I'm working on all that currently. Trying to set up local systems to do practical and secure orchestrated AI work, without over-reliance on proprietary systems and platforms.
Turns out it's a buttload of work. Yegge's own project (Gas Town) is a real world attempt to build just the agent part, and still many more parts are needed.
It's so complicated, I don't think any open s
