Oof, this dude is going through it, I hope he eventually leaves the TempleOS frame of mind!
As long as he doesn't do something like... oh, I don't know... murder anyone, then we can work it all out in the end.
Yeah, honestly, murder would be a HUGE dealbreaker for making peace. As long as Kent doesn't fall too deep into LLM psychosis and comes back from the brink, there is always room to talk. Unless, he famously refuses to work well with others that aren't bowing at his feet.
I mean, Terry was nuts and has his moments but you can't deny the dedication he had in making TempleOS and the ammount of work on it is nothing short of incredible. And even TempleOS has some little groundbreaking gems that other OSes can't even dream to have - not even Plan 9.
All this to say that I don't think developing a custom LLM can ever be compared to developing a complete OS. But I don't know, don't take my word on this, I'm just a graphic designer
Fair, but that's the end result of Terry's psychosis.
Overstreets would be just beginning, who knows maybe next week we'll start seeing articles that his "GirLLMfriend" is telling him he needs to build an OS around bcachefs for the Ai-Gods and then boom TempleOS^2^
And Overstreet does have master level skills no doubt, making a FS is hard. Making a good FS is harder. Making a good FS by yourself is S-tier almost on par with building an entire OS from scratch
"Girlllmfriend" is a horrifying word.

Why go with the old fashioned tulpa GF when a ai is all the rage now
