A famous Murray Gell-Mann quote: "Imagine how hard physics would be if atoms could think."

Programming with plain old code is powerful and pure, but also, in some way, easy.

The code does precisely what you told it to (though not necessarily what you meant).

It's easy for programmers to look at people in other systems, less in control of the output, and look down on them.

But now LLMs can "think".

Suddenly, corralling them becomes harder than writing code!
