Hi HN, I recently launched Wool Ball (https://woolball.xyz), a project designed to test the concept of paying people to enable their devices to process AI tasks through their browsers. The idea revolves around “browser as a service” or “browser as a server,” leveraging idle browser resources to create a decentralized, scalable, and cost-effective way to run AI workloads. We’re still in the early stages, and I’d love to hear your feedback on the concept and the product we’re building. Overview: https://woolball.xyz/Guide What do you think of this approach to…

Alright so if you run a self-hosted blog, you've probably noticed AI companies scraping it for training data. And not just a little (RIP to your server bill). There isn't much you can do about it without cloudflare. These companies ignore robots.txt, and you're competing with teams with more resources than you. It's you vs the MJs of programming, you're not going to win. But there is a solution. Now I'm not going to say it's a great solution...but a solution is a solution.

Hi HN! BLAST is a high-performance serving engine for browser-augmented LLMs, designed to make deploying web-browsing AI easy, fast, and cost-manageable. The goal with BLAST is to ultimately achieve google search level latencies for tasks that currently require a lot of typing and clicking around inside a browser. We're starting off with automatic parallelism, prefix caching, budgeting (memory and LLM cost), and an OpenAI-Compatible API but have a ton of ideas in the pipe!
