Making a bios that just runs an LLM to imitate a BIOS on which a different LLM pretending to be on operating system rests and is used to run other LLMs pretending to be programs. Debugging will just be asking it nicely to figure out what's wrong over and over until it looks like it's started working, and normal operation is remembering which phrasing of the question makes it work right-ish and which doesn't and being sure to praise it frequently because that makes it more likely to be correct (or else why would it be getting praised?).

It takes a supercomputer to run a command line interface and it can't render a spreadsheet, it has to write it on paper using a robotic hand controlled by an LLM designed to mimic handwriting.

Imagine 40K predicting the world MicroSlop wants to build decades ahead of time.

I thought all of this 40k stuff was hammy until you said "LLM pretending to be a program" and now I'm met with dread about how real that 40k concept of appeasing the machine spirits now seems. The machine spirit is an LLM.
