What about "what goes up, must come down"?

One of my favorite podcasts, "Gone South", did a two part feature about this phenomena in July of 2025. Well worth the listen. Pt. 1: https://pca.st/1clncbd7

r0ml's third law states that: “Any distributed system based on exchanging data will be replaced by a system based on exchanging programs.”

I believe the same pattern is inevitable for these higher level abstractions and interfaces to generate computer instructions. The language use must ultimately conform to a rigid syntax, and produce a deterministic result, a.k.a. "code".

malware author is pretty harsh, but fair analysis overall

Can you elaborate on this?

What are some examples of skills you think are now essential, that prior have been taken for granted or obviated in some way?

Reminds me of "A Canticle for Leibowitz".

Nice to see a well reasoned counter to Altman's hyperbole.

That's like adding puke frosting to a turd cake.

Makes sense, good luck! I know that sounds snarky, I'm looking forward to rational progress and cooperation on the evolution and adoption of the standard. Just haven't seen that played out in such a planned orderly fashion yet (ipv6?).

You are not alone, it is absurd. The meaning is what you make of it.

I recommend reading Carl Sagan for the cosmic perspective and embracing the awe.

It's worth adding, that while it is indeed all arbitrary and we are cast here without rhyme or reason, not everyone is born with the same lot in life. I also recommend reading Angela Davis for the perspective of systematically oppressed people and their struggles for liberation.

For me, when I do get lost in similar thoughts, it helps me to ground in my actual experience, and especially in what I can do in the short time I've been given to ponder to help others make their lives better.

I couldn't find an easy link from these docs to the product page on mobile. Seems like a wasted opportunity. I had to edit the URL to get to the company website.

It's not really an opinion piece is it? It's docs. The language seems appropriate for articulating principles.

Your response is sad.
