They say PL people only produce languages that are good for implementing languages but that pathology seems laughably tame compared to LLM frameworks/orchestrators…

My regrettably serious take on this is that once all the prescientific productivity slop in harnesses fades away we’ll rediscover that machine checkable formal specs are kind of a nifty idea at which point LLMs will reach the final stage of every ML approach: (Proof/Program) Search

Don’t take this as me saying LLMs are not really weird and interesting and potentially very very powerful, I’m just tired of a lot of formalism and scientific rigor LARP with mystical properties. Especially shit like auto-formalization gives me a thousand yard stare.
