We think LLMs have crossed an important threshold, capability wise, whereby they can extract the business logic that drives a great many enterprise workflows into a DSL and generate inspectable code that can automate a swathe of white collar routine business work.
The technical center is a proposed pipeline for reconstructing an operating model and executable procedures from enterprise exhaust, to test and repair. Also how to get the data that's needed.

“Unfortunately, much of this knowledge – and the texts that contained it – was destroyed during the Spanish Inquisition, leaving only a few bits and pieces from which to reconstruct these advanced methods for celestial prediction.“

I don’t think the Eu got it right; crucially they missed requiring these choice points to be automatedly navigable for users (eg “.. and if you must publish the metadata representing the choice architecture this way, use these standard keywords to present options, and must allow users to use automation to make their selection “)
The first reg this happens in will I think make billions the world over realize this is what the template of all opt-in online regulation has to be and will hopefully change the world.

“The SEC this week told Mr. Burr, a North Carolina Republican who retired from the Senate at the start of the year, that it closed the investigation and wouldn’t take enforcement action against him.”
Regulators had earlier said that Mr. Burr had material nonpublic information about the Covid-19 pandemic in February 2020 when he sold virtually all of the stock he owned through a retirement account.

“.. older representations from Syria and India of sticks and animals looking like serpents or worms are interpreted by some as a direct representation of traditional treatment of dracunculiasis, the Guinea worm disease.“

It is believed that those snakes you see in the logo for medical services (caduceus) are actually Guinea worms as physicians used to advertise their services that way. See for example

Thurston is low dimensional topologist and Fields medalist. From the Wikipedia page:
'In fact, Thurston resolved so many outstanding problems in foliation theory in such a short period of time that it led to a kind of exodus from the field, where advisors counselled students against going into foliation theory[1] because Thurston was "cleaning out the subject"'
