We spent twenty years telling everyone to learn to code. Now code writes itself. The question was never about code. It was about knowing what to build.
Loved this piece. The intention gap is one of the most underappreciated differences between humans and LLMs, and I think it maps cleanly onto comparative brain architecture. LLMs have something like a frontal lobe without the corticolimbic loop underneath it. No limbic input means no affective stake, no salience, no sense that anything actually matters. You can have all the executive function in the world, but without the subcortical substrate that makes things matter, intention is structurally unavailable.

Thank you, Dr. Regan. That makes a lot of sense from a brain architecture perspective. I may draw on this idea in a future piece.
