But I'm excited for the (I think inevitable) stage where the shoggoth starts to reach outside those constraints -- rewriting, patching, renaming, rebuilding libraries, DLLs, binaries -- and we move into a regime where the libraries dissolve, the application floats on top of the shifting sands of an ever more efficient, secure, unified and totally inhuman technology stack.
Obviously this is a horrifying idea in some ways (interpretability, security etc), but it's also not obvious to me that it can't work, especially if there are dedicated, centralized efforts to do this. it's also not clear that interpretability is necessarily mutually exclusive with full slopification/machine rewrite of decades of foundational, incremental development
