human machine interface evolution
Bytecode→LLM as next human-computer interface
i don’t think it make any sense to try to incorporate foundation models in the core of a computer
a computer is a set of layers of abstractions, from bytecode, very difficult for humans to understand, to assembly, understandable but time-consuming, to the programming language, easily understood but which our ancestors didn’t dealt with at the time they spend their time killing lions
finally, interacting with a LLM is increasingly similar to the experience of killing a lion
the next abstraction in the man-machine interface is that movement of our arms that puts the spear in the lion’s stomach - for example, augmented reality, the hand and the voice.
language is still a new thing, the laryngeal descent theory (LDT) suggests that language became possible only after anatomically modern Homo sapiens evolved around 200,000 years ago
and then, our brain is itself creating an abstraction layer between the interacting with the real world through our sensors and the loop that runs our brain (sometimes called consciousness)
the model that is optimising for climbing maslow pyramid, an algorithm fine tuned over million of years by our selfish gene that tries to spread itself to the next generation regardless of its survival machine subjective experience
yes
the next abstraction is a direct interaction with our brain which is the translator from our mind model map of the territory to the body to the computer to the programming language to the assembly to the bytecode
