PewDiePie build a self hosted AI workspace. It looks interesting.

Now waiting for some VC-backed AI company to pick up PewDiePie like they did with the OpenClaw guy.

I really wonder if people who make such projects actually use them on a regular basis. I cannot imagine myself working with these UIs.

Why not just use open webui?

h4ch1

God the UI design is atrocious.

Pewd's video provides more context [1]. I didn't see it linked from the project; it seems pretty relevant given who he is. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAzT5lcezPs

> Odysseus Is the person best known for exploiting security vulnerabilities to get into places you'd rather they didn't, and then getting lost and taking forever to get places the ideal namesake for your AI workspace project?

What would make an existing OpenUI/Open WebUI user switch to this?

It reminds me of the Nord theme https://github.com/nordtheme/nord

Can anyone recommend something similar but cleaner and more polished?

PewDiePie on Hackernews what a time to be alive!

i write an agent in C, create my own models. crickets. pewdiepie gets into programming on a whim creates slop, 3k stars.

reminds me of the milla jovovich vibecoded ai memory project that got a little bit of hype but was mostly junk... guessing we're going to see a lot more "developer talked to a celebrity and came up with an idea for their money"

pushpendra3000

respect for what pewdiepie's trying to do (as he explains in his video) but this is just ai slop

> Fun fact: a chunk of Odysseus was built *from a phone* -- mobile shells (Termux), the PWA install, and on-device agents. So "works on mobile" isn't an afterthought, it's where a lot of it actually happened. https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/odysseus/commit/0517...

Watching pewd's continually evolving AI-era tech journey has brough me a lot of joy.

stalinkay

Whoa! Sounds interesting, I'll be taking a deep dive.

PewDiePie is living an enviable life in Japan with his wife and kid doing cool projects.

Wake me when you can increase the awfully tiny font size of the nav.
