Am... am I a function? Oh my god



You know, if you read the article about Systems and Leverage Points[1] that's on the front page right now, it's not hard to see the entire world as a function made up of other functions. And one of those other functions is you.

The real question is, are you a serverless function? If someone likes you and wants more of you, can they infinitely scale you up on-demand, tuespetre? And if so, what will their AWS bill look like next month?

Humans rarely produce identical output from identical input. You're probably more of a nondeterministic heuristic.
