Step 1: downloaded transcripts from all 400+ videos in the /gmfarcaster YouTube channel

I want to build a Farcaster AI bot trained on /gmfarcaster101 video content whose purpose is to welcome new users and help them onboard successfully.

I’ve been making my way through the steps to get to an MVP. 

Some reflections:
- AI coding assistants / copilots are insane. This isn’t news to anyone but to experience it personally is still mind blowing. 
- Training an AI on a dataset is harder than I expected, I started with transcripts from 2 videos and the result is so bad. ChatGPT makes everything seem so easy so I was surprised at how bad my first iteration is. It’s a schlep. 
- I forgot about how much fun coding is. It’s my ideal flow state and the pace of learning is so fast. I’m waking in the middle of the night with dreams about code. 
- I’m not getting fast enough feedback loops. I’m working on the thinnest possible vertical slice, just so I can see something end to end. Then I can figure out what needs to be optimized.

IMO this is objectively true, but "could" is the operative word here. It's true that anybody *can* make a bot/ai agent for any community - the tech is all out there in the open.

But anybody *can* do a lot of things, so much so that the statement becomes meaningless. Out of the set of people who can do something, only a few people /actually/ do it, and within that set, even fewer people actually do it in a way that is valuable.

I've always known we would train an LLM on GM Farcaster content.... someday. But I'm not a developer.  And I don't know how to do it.  So it was always *someday*; it was never *today*

Anyway... h/t @six for being the catalyst for this project.  Time will tell how far I can get, but I've already learned a ton and I'm motivated to keep going
