  • There's an increasing gap between compile time and runtime.
    • The LLM is (mostly) only in the room at compile time, not at runtime.
    • At runtime, you're running the code the LLM produced… which is possibly inscrutable.
    • It's kind of like DNA.
      • The inscrutable artifact makes a running, living organism… but there's no way to debug that organism.
    • LLMs are necessary to create these executable artifacts, but not to execute them.
