Tell me you use an LLM to write everything without telling me...
A clock for a world with no center.
Names that can't lie.
Convergence without coordination.
Storage too cheap to delete.
Machines summoned in milliseconds.
OK, got it.
I wish someone here could introduce me to Ted Nelson, I would have loved to interview him! And yes, I've been building the "Xanadu" vision since 2011:
https://github.com/Qbix <-- hosting and editing your own websites
https://github.com/Intercoin <-- blockchain since 2018
https://github.com/Safebots <-- AI agents since 2026
https://github.com/Safebots/Safecloud <-- for example, micropayments
Interview him while you still can. I encourage you to seek out whoever Ted's contact people are and try to get that interview in. Make it long and thorough, and put it on YouTube and archive it.

I'm not so sure the article is written with AI. I'd love to hear from the author on that.
If not, someone is a native in LLMese. Conveys little about what it actually is, or connected to how Delta works and is mostly talking about some abstract metaphoric relation. I remember some article on how LLMs throw in identifiers without much understanding of the indetified, other than its similiarity to another thing in text (methaphoric speech).
Have you read Nelson?
