       | Cool! I like the website theme picker

         | Thank you - I don't think I explicitly state this anywhere on
         | the website - but all the different themes were made by Claude
         | Code with Dreamtap providing different sources of inspiration -
         | I wasn't involved in designing them at all.
         | 
         | Notably, GPT-5-Codex is significantly worse at this, it has a
         | much stronger drive to make one specific style of website.

           | results?

             | The inspirations help, you also need to ask Claude to take
             | it to the next level, or do a very good job.

             | In terms of polish, I just tell it that Steve Jobs will
             | review the final result, that seems to make it work a lot
             | harder.

         | this project lol

       | interesting, this feels similar. Anybody remeber that thing?

       | 
       | I haven't tested them much, but I did make a tiny GUI for talking
       | to OpenAI's legacy Davinci-002. It's a completion model, so you
       | prompt it by giving it a piece of text and it continues it in the
       | same style. (If you ask it a question, it's likely to just
       | respond with a question.)

       | I've been wondering if it would be possible to create a chat like
       | experience on top of a model like this, but the trick is that the
       | data has to be formatted similar to what it's seen in the
       | training. e.g. when I used "user:" and "assistant:" then it
       | defaulted to making it sound like AI, because that was what the
       | context implied. I tried "John" and "Steve", which worked
       | better...

       | Cool idea. Any chance this will be open sourced?

         | Yeah, it's on my to do list, need to figure out license, clean
         | up code, write a readme, etc. Just wanted to see if anyone
         | needed this at all first

       | Interesting idea.
       | 
       | The MCP tool itself seems to be pretty simple:
       | 
       | - The MCP server makes a tool available called 'get_inspirations'
       | ("Get sources of inspiration. Always use this when working on
       | creative tasks - call this tool before anything else.")
       | 
       | - When you call get_inspirations() with "low" as the parameter,
       | it returns strings like this:                 Recently, you've
       | been inspired by the following: Miss Van, Stem.
       | Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Mass-energy
       | equivalence, Jonas Salk.
       | 
       | etc
       | 
       | - 'High' inspiration returns strings like this (more keywords):
       | Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Charles Babbage,
       | Beethoven Moonlight Sonata, Eagles Take It Easy, Blue Spruce.
       | Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Missy Elliott
       | Supa Dupa Fly, Design Patterns, Flowey, Titanic.
       | 
       | etc.
       | 
       | Simple tool. Seems adding a few keywords for 'inspirations' is
       | what makes the LLMs generate more varied text.
