Your comment made me think of another real time. Real time, dynamic code/apis.

Imagine a world where there is no code, just things mildly handshaking and then creating data APIs on the fly. Where communication is fuzzy and locked in on an individual basis. No years of RFCs, no RFCs at all, just... data.

Just data, man.

An API arbitration aberratically assigned at authorized access, abridged and annotated, analytically assuring absolute assurance.

Why remove the code and binary artifacts, though? Don't you want to verify that the business logic is accurate and the processing is deterministic?

In some circumstances there is no substitute for something that you know will produce the same answer for a given input, consistently. And that's before even considering the watts per response.

I'm pretty sure the LLM will get fed up and start writing an RPC

Cool that you wrote all the words starting with "a" but I don't understand what you mean

It's very easy to see how world changing this technology will be. In a few years these AIs are going to be negotiating how they communicate with each other. Humans won't necessarily be included in that negotiation unless we have some kind of specific reason to. So many communication layers are going to be opaque to humans. We just have to trust our AIs are communicating efficiently and safely.

What this made me think of is life before computers, where people mildly handshake, create agreements on the fly. "Where communication is fuzzy and locked in on an individual basis."

TBH, to me, this imagined future looks a lot like it'd have all the problems we already have.

Wow. Sci-fi stuff!

I’ve thought about this before. No flaky config files, no updating endpoints, no status monitors. Just fuzzy everything that works almost all of the time.
