   Doesn't this just mean that the code is now "laws", ie. the code is now the spec.

   Given this, is there any reason think that writing the "laws" for a complex system is any easier than writing the old-fashioned code that implements it?

      100% agree. It's crazy so many Ai articles are heralding the end of code while at the same time defining more complex ways to write code under a different name.

         I suppose I could look it up but I wonder if people thought this of "high level" languages like C when it first came out. No more assembly. Or even assembly instead of machine code.
