I'm judging from his pinned tweet, "The hottest new programming language is English", that "those of you who know me know what I'm working on ;)" message at the end of this seems like a nod to developer tools of some kind. Which would track for a tech visionary, a hacker can't resist making himself better tools I guess.

Anybody have better info than my idle guess?

He has speculated a few times about an LLM based OS. That’d be way cool.

>>next_x+l3
Why?

>>jjtheb+c4
Non-deterministic outputs... For one (rather important) thing.

I can think of lots of reasons why non-deterministic outputs at the OS level is a bad idea, but what are the benefits?

Not to jump in for someone else but your use of “OS level” prompts me to opine: I think the features of a meaningful new OS would extend far beyond the programmatic level of the kernel, the drivers, the dependencies, etc. A “new OS” could just be Linux with some cool UX innovations on top enabled by ensembles of lightweight, purpose built LLMs. Think window management, file management, password management, etc.

For one potentially compelling example that happily (sadly?) isn’t using LLMs: the SimulaVR people are developing their own Linux fork of some kind, claiming it’s necessary for comfortable VR use for office work. And I sorta believe them!
