Looks like their Reddit post has a formatting error?

   ...as computing shifts from operating systems [to intelligence systems](TKTK)...

`[text](link)` is the syntax used to create a link. But since `TKTK` isn't a valid URI, it doesn't render a link. My guess is TKTK is placeholder and they were supposed to fill it in before posting on reddit... but forgot?

edit: hah, maybe someone from Google saw my comment. This has now been fixed and TKTK replaced with https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1tb83gy/making_and...

TKTK is a common placeholder for something that should be filled in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_come_(publishing)

I bet this is an LLM output mistake that escaped human proofreading.

I had an instance of it this morning: Claude proposed a shell command containing a URL and it used this format, which is broken in context.

Looks like the link got fixed.

I'm really enjoying reddit just completely roasting the entire concept in the comments.
