What exactly is an AI loop?

Smart people online are talking about loops. Frankly I don’t understand what these things are in terms of tangibles.

I use opencode all the time. Coworkers using codex, some claude.

But what is a loop? If you do use loops could you share explicitly in tangibles what it is and how you use it? Even a simple example would be tremendous I’m so lost haha

Just came upon a short that explains it and shows a simple use:

also, Geoffrey Huntley started the trend I believe:

Haven’t actually tried it yet so can’t say much more. I do have plans, it involves utilizing my rtx 4090. I’ll make some overnight experiments, see what happens. Generally, I do like being in the loop so… that’s why I haven’t tried it yet. :sweat_smile:

You have to use map in a functional language.

bugs = [...]
agent = Enum.random(~w[claude codex])
Enum.map(fn bug -> System.cmd(agent, ["fix #{bug}"] end)

So a agent on a cronjob?! Sounds like a good way to generate steady token usage. Feels like there could be smarter systems doing the scheduling cheaper, while only talking to the LLM when necessary.
