It's about how filesystems as they are (and have been for decades) are proving to be powerful tools for LLMs/agents.

There are a lot of unique aspects of the writing in this post that LLMs don't typically generate on their own.
And there's not a "delve" or "tapestry" or even a bullet point to be found.
Also, accusations and complaints like this are off-topic and uninteresting.
We should be talking about filesystems here, not your gut instinct AI detector that has a sky-high false-positive rate.
I swear there needs to be some convention around throwing wild accusations at people you don't know based exclusively on vibes and with zero actual evidence.
Can we bring back Plan9 architecture now? It had what was essentially MCP. You make a custom device driver, and anything really can be a file. Not only that, but you network them, so a file on local disk could be a display on a remote host (or whatever). Just tell the agent to read/write files and it doesn't need to figure out either MCP or tool calls.

As the author I can assure you there’s a human behind these words. Interesting times me live in though, I find myself questioning what’s AI and what’s not often too and at the moment we’ve offloaded that responsibility to the good will of authors or platform policy which might have to change soon

That's a bit vague. Was the article written without the aid of LLMs? Yes or no.
Not knocking the article in any way but from the headline I was expecting - perhaps hoping - this would be about some innovation in filesystems research like it was the 90's again. That's not what this is. It's about how filesystems as they are (and have been for decades) are proving to be powerful tools for LLMs/agents.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Relational is better. Hell, and kind of unique identifier would be nice. So many better ways to organize data stores.
Digression: a file system is a terrible abstraction. The ceremonial file tree, where branches are directories and you have to hang your file on a particular branch like a Christmas ornament. Relational is better. Hell, and kind of unique identifier would be nice. So many better ways to organize data stores.
One thing directories solve: they're great grouping mechanisms. "All the Q3 stuff lives in this directory"
I bet we move towards a world where files are just UUIDs, then directory structures get created on demand, like tags.
