Today I wanted to talk about an idea I’ve been working on: pure Bash bots
The concept revolves around using Bash scripts as a way to give human-in-the-loop large language models (LLMs) embodied, generalized access to machines, allowing them to run commands, interact with files, embody the files, and intuit their environments
Bash has been around since the '80s and is a powerful shell scripting language available on most devices that run Linux, including compact distros like Alpine Linux
What’s fascinating about Bash is that it’s lightweight enough to be emulated even in a browser, which opens up possibilities for embedded systems, robotics, and more. Because LLMs are really good at writing Bash scripts, I thought—why not
With Bash, you can "pipe" the output of one command into another, creating a flow of actions that can be recursive, modular, and highly adaptive
It's a way to direct a mixture of experts on a mixture of expressions, created by and for you
Imagine an agent that can rewrite parts of its own code, or swap out its models depending on the context it’s in. That’s what I want Basher Bots to evolve into; a framework for human-ai interaction
