[AIP] Was using a hermes agent to grab Internet Archive collections, had it automate the process and make a webui (github.com)

Use at your own risk, wanted to take the ai out of the process so I wasn't wasting hella tokens on repetitive actions. Search through and grab collections directly from internet archive. Still having the agent fix bugs and add features but it seems mostly stable now.

Useful since internet archive has a ton of old comics/magazines that you can't find on comic repos like getcomics or batcave. Cracked, I couldn't find anywhere else, tons of mad issues, carToons, every popular adult mens mag for the gooners, etc.

    Bahahaha did NOT expect to see the word “gooner” in this post 🤣 thanks for the laugh

    Beyond that, this looks useful as hell! I’ll have to dig into it a bit more.

    If anything, your repo has inspired me. I spend wayyyy to much time manually doing things like this and having a solution, or at least the framework of a solution available to review is super valuable!

    I realized a lot of stuff I do can be automated or given a frontend pretty easily with just deepseek v4 flash and it's pretty good at making extensions, just have to babysit hermes or it'll go off on tangents or misunderstand your plan if you aren't careful.

    It'll try to do the most overcomplicated solutions for simple things so it's best to read the docs for stuff yourself a bit first. (I wish it was more of a just tell it what to do and it makes what you want process, but it's close enough)

    Frontends that do exist tend to be overcomplicated for my needs or not user friendly, sicne they don't bother wasting time manually coding that.

    Lemmy's hateboner for llms is odd to me,it makes sense to hate generative ai, but this is using deepseek, a chinese open weight model anyone can run with the right hardware or api/subscriptions. Opencode go is 10$ a month for like 80$ of deepseek credits a month. Cheap, attainable, not harming anyone, no profit being made.

    for real. Im starting to find it more frustrating than actual ai slop

    Not to say they don’t have valid concerns. It just feels suffocating and counter productive is all. I even spent too much time and energy debating if I should respond to you wth my actual opinions…and that is so fucking stupid and a sign of something unhealthy going on.

    I’ve found a few communities on here that are more level headed about it, but they are the minority it seems.

    it’s amazing the types of discussions can pop up when you don’t have to worry about getting sniped for talking about doing ANYTHING with AI.

    What are those coms?

    I am thinking about a Lemmy/pieces/mbin client in which you have two modes. One is the raw mode where everything is like it is now bit you can follow people.

    And in the other mode you just see what people you follow posted.

    I believe it's called white listing?

    Oh man, so I’m on my 5th (and hopefully final) lemmy/piefed server. The interactions I had were on my previous accounts and I can’t remember exactly what communities they were, sadly

    But I think most of them were related to local llama, which makes sense why they are a little more level headed about it

    I really enjoy r/leftistforai on Reddit. I’ve been participating/watching it when it was super small. It’s nice to see it growing. Those are some of the most sane AI takes I’ve ever seen on the internet.

    After reading some posts and comments on there, it becomes obvious how silly a lot of the “anti-ai” and “ai-bro” discourse/culture is

    Kinda wish there was something like that on the fediverse. it took a while to get where it’s at now in Reddit, which has a much larger user base to pull from. Can’t imagine how long it would take to gain traction on the fediverse.
