Hot take: AI is the literal antithesis of the Unix Philosophy.
I really kind of want to write up a full piece on this, but I'm also pretty damn tired. So here's the short version:
The UP is about keeping tools simple, modular, and reusable to maximize what a practitioner can accomplish with them, as opposed to self-contained, huge, and complex so any idiot can (hopefully) use them.
AI isn't merely about building complex tools, it's about *replacing* tools with *servants.*
