<p>This article positions as something invented between the USA and the USSR... But, just looking into wikiepdia:<p>"One such solution was a method proposed in 1809 by the French pastry chef Nicolas François Appert, which involved long-cooking meat or vegetables (approximately 1-2 hours) and pasteurizing the finished product in a brine solution. Appert received a personal award for this invention from Napoleon."</p>

<p>The problem is that organizations providing infrastructure (such as message exchange, money exchange, physical entities exchange) are allowed by law to manipulate the stream, heavily advertise, provide credit etc all kind of scum. Depriving children from writing a message to parents and friends is nonsense. Exposing them to these for-profit organizations is questionable. But that is also questionable with the grown ups.</p>

<p>Unless we intend to surrender everything about human symbolic manipulations (all math, all proving, all computations, all programming) to llm in the nearest future, we still need some  formal representations for engineering.<p>The major part of tradidional NLP was about formal representations. We are still to see the efficient mining techniques to extract the formal representations and analyses back from LLM.<p>How would we solve the traditional NLP problems, such as, for example, formalization of law corpus of a given country with LLM?<p>As an approximation we can look at non-natural language processing, e.g. compiler technologies. How do we write an optimizing compiler on LLM technologies? How do we ensure stability, correctness and price?<p>In a sence, the traditional NLP field has just doubled, not died. In addition to humans as language capable entities, who can not really explain how they use the language, we now also have LLM as another kind of language capable entities. Who in fact also can not explain anything. The only benefit is that it is cheaper to ask LLM the same question a million of times that a human.</p>

<p>50 years is a long time.<p>Between the existence of Austria-Hungary empire, when the Latin  alphabet was very relevant for all the Balkans, and the end of WW2, when the Cyrillic became much more relevant for them is just 1945-1918=27 years.</p>
