I also use Claude Code to install CUDA and PyTorch and HuggingFace models on my quad A100 machine. Shouldn't feel like debugging a 2000s Linux driver.

HuggingFace has incredible reach but poor UX, and PyTorch installs remain fragile. There’s real space here for a platform that makes this all seamless maybe even something that auto-updates a local SSD with fresh models to try every day.

what. i mean firmware has a lot of failsafes but i would not trust it to do sysops for a 100k machine

It is indeed a disaster waiting to happen. Figuring out a way to run agents safely is apparently a harder problem than getting to AGI :)

thus is the AI alignment problem
