Earlier quoted context omitted.

LLMs will talk to each other using embeddings.

FTR LLM embeddeds are a lot less efficient than ASCII for communication and are likely to stay that way.

absolutely not. Transformer layers already communicate using embeddings, and ASCII would be absolutely less efficient there.

Well, not everything we're involved in and accidentally contribute is necessarily _made_ by us, in the sense of intentionally and purposefully brought into existence.

We just happen to learn one or more languages, and pass down a few of our mistakes and innovations to others, the vast majority of which have no effect on anybody.

I'm excited about the language but it's impossible to google anything about it :(

Yeah, it's hard to Google with that name. I have put together a page with info about the language https://jprogr.github.io/mini-resources

By sheerest chance I read the same anonymous Japanese basket weaving forum where a link to this was posted just before its appearance here. Well played OP.

Which forum? May I have a link?

Mini's logo appears to be the M from MIT's logo.

Came here to say that! I thought it was one of MIT's projects!
