I do believe it’s time for systems folks to take a hard look at building systems abstractions on top of LLMs as they did 50 years ago on top of CPUs. LLMs are the new universal computing machines, but we build with them like we built computers in the 1950s - one computer at a time.

Hmmmm I don't think that would make sense. Closest analogy is working with humans. The easiest way to work with a human isn't a thin, limited api, but rather to give them context and work together (employment). I think the future of software will look more like Claude Code. Lets the model work in a similar space as us, where it can intelligently seek out information and use tools as a human would.
