I know the guidelines make this a faux pas but I’m just here to say that was a great read. Very informative, well structured and compelling story of how we have networks and how they work.

To those saying it’s the work of an LLM: if it is I don’t care. It’s good.

That first animation should include the servers hosting the messaging platform. Or use a peer to peer application for that example.

It hit me when I woke up and I made a (human) haiku (well, sorta) about it:

"We already had Klingon and Elvish. Now we have LLMish."
