Project Taking Shape

📦 GitHub Structure Taking Shape

We’ve finally started shaping the folder structure for our GitHub repo:
👉 https://github.com/comanderanch/ai-core

Progress is slow but steady. It’s just me—comanderanch—and I’m still only 2½ years into learning code. Advanced concepts, AI logic, and project organization… it’s a lot. GPT is my only help, and keeping the two of us focused without getting lost in files or overcomplicating things is a constant effort.

I’ve learned that AI tends to get a little too “helpful” sometimes—predictive responses, assumptions, and wandering off-track. I have to keep it grounded, give clear instructions, and tell it when to stop. I’m learning, step by step.

One of the biggest challenges is when I share code snippets to get analyzed or fixed—GPT sometimes forgets our entire context and goes into a kind of “code drunk” state. Doesn’t help that I’m learning as I go, but this whole thing started from a simple question: what does color look like in binary?

That curiosity exploded into this larger project over 2½ years. My interest in color values, frequency, and hue as binary tokens comes down to this: the color spectrum offers a far wider range of possible token values than standard words or sentences in 8-bit binary. Since everything in programming boils down to binary, I feel that expanding token ranges could give AI deeper areas of computation and understanding to work with.

So yeah, I’m still grinding, still learning. I hope I can steer this into something functional and efficient. It’s been since 1986 since I’ve done anything beyond point-and-click on a screen. Back then, I was coding from a book on an Atari keyboard hooked to my TV, saving to a cassette tape. Today’s tools are more powerful—but also a whole different world from 10 PRINT and 20 GOTO.

Let’s see what challenges tomorrow brings.
