...b is a pull model. You can choose to go somewhere and instantly teleport. In an infinite software world, what about a push model, where there's self-distributing software that comes to you? Self-distributing infinite software will change the world...
...xpensive to create software so it couldn't change for others. But in a world of infinite software, it's now possible. Imagine tech support if everyone has their own bespoke app. Terrifying! If software bends its will to individual users, it become...
In infinite software, instead of expecting fixed, static software like today we'll instead expect software to be malleable, adaptive, to feel almost like it's alive.
...pps are commercial, mass scale. Not situated, personal, artisanal. In an era of infinite software, apps won't cut it.
...rs who are the same, it's not a particularly viable business. But in a world of infinite software who cares! It's possible to make one custom fit one to you that adapts as you change.
In the world of infinite software, you don't have to build software for an average market. You can grow bespoke software for each specific person.
In a world of infinite software, the data is more valuable than the app. An observation this week: "I can see a future where it's much faster for all employees to use an IDE with .m...
Imagine Borges' library, but for software. Infinite software. Software for every need, just waiting to be discovered.
...o structured things consistently. Still, a fascinating experiment in the era of infinite software!
...n, by security experts at design time. To have a system capable of working with infinite software, it will have to be antifragile; auto-isolating code that has been tainted by sensitive data.
The ideal software in the era of infinite software is pre-assembled lego sets. You get a full, useful thing out of the box, that an expert designed to be holistically useful. But it's made of legos, s...
The domain of infinite software is open-ended. It requires open-ended solutions.
The way to unlock the power of infinite software is a different distribution paradigm.
...ou to trust the creator of the code. That's not a good assumption in the era of infinite software. Not just that they will not be evil, but that they'll continue to exist.
...c][kd] You don't have to think about it, your intentions are well met. Imagine: infinite software with a disappearing interface. Your data comes alive with an interface that melts away.
In a world of infinite software, you won't necessarily make your app for others, you'll make it for yourself and maybe some friends. Maybe no one else will trust it or be willing to...
...for the LLMs to be trained and then deployed. It's also indirect. In a world of infinite software you'll want a tiered system, with a faster, more direct loop that allows faster adaptation[om], to complement the lower pace layer of LLMs.
... is the next step. The next force multiplier: a turing-complete printing press. Infinite software will be a Gutenberg moment.[on]
...t cannot be. Today we have finite software and infinite content. What if we had infinite software and finite content?
We're entering an era of infinite software. Software has always been supply constrained. But what happens when software becomes demand constrained? LLMs make the cost of producing software app...
