The intersection of permaculture / permacomputing and AI is a total contradiction and yet here we are, I totally love this.

Brut-V is a low-level graphics runtime written in pure RISC-V assembly, designed for sketching and learning at the instruction-set level. It was built entirely with Hermes as part of @NousResearch Creative Hackathon. The agent also helped automate the creation of surprisingly convincing visuals around it. A few notes from the build (+ live demo) below

Codex definitely helped, but I wouldn’t reduce it to /goal. For this project, the Hermes loop mattered at least as much: the byte-for-byte assembler work came from repeated assemble / diff / patch cycles against RARS, plus the surrounding tooling and persistence. That’s the part I found really interesting.

@Teknium i built Codex's /goal function into Hermes Agent, do you want it?

It’s an AI-generated mockup, made with the pipeline I describe in the thread. I use Browser Harness to browse my Pinterest board and pull several reference images until I get a mockup I like, then use another prompt to project a real image into the blank area (the thermal paper) of that generated mockup. No 3D render involved, hence the distorted letters/words and other generation artifacts. All of this happens from the Telegram bot.

@daumerval is this image AI generated or do you have a really fancy printer or is it a 3d render?

Programming in assembly is a form of monastic asceticism. Renouncing the comfort of abstractions, submitting to mental discipline, repeating simple gestures: Compute, Store, Branch. The holy trinity of computation. Three elementary operations from which all complexity emerges.

@eliheuer Same. Torn between this and a full-blown open-source Grasshopper-like node environment.

There still isn't a good AI-era Kid Pix alternative that I know of. One of the many projects on my backlog, could probably make this as a ComfyUI frontend fork and monetize it with a custom safe kids cloud model provider designed just for the frontend.

@Teknium Re-tagging this one, @Teknium: x.com/i/status/20510…

Louis@daumerval

Anyway, I jumped into this hackathon pretty late, and it was my first one, but I really enjoyed the pace of it. Massive thanks to the @NousResearch team, and @Teknium, for the incredible work they put into Hermes, and for their astounding responsiveness throughout. Also, shout-out to @eliheuer, whose enthusiasm gave me the final push to join. Much appreciated.

Zooming back out to Brut-V as a whole, what really strikes me is how useful , even empowering, an agentic system can become once you treat it as as a second-order tool: a tool for making other tools. I think this is one of those cases where automation can actually build competency, letting you reclaim downstream what was somehow delegated upstream. “It builds skills so you can build yours” might be another (probably too gimmicky) way to put it, I guess.
