He’s very much on this kind of beat. In general I have a feeling that there are orders of magnitude to gain by successfully applying computer science to “language algorithms”.

Feels like we are exploring very narrow paths of computations that can be performed with language. Like we have an x86 cpu and we are building pocket calculators. So much untapped

Re prolog I had a similar intuition at some point and tried to make a stack based programming language that uses a language model as a kind of control/logic unit

I was missing a bunch of cs background at the time so I didn’t get very far, but I feel like there’s a lot to be done for this kind of thing
