Douglas Hofstadter: Analogy as the API

As things get more complicated and you need to be able to remember -where- the box of cables is cabula rasa.

What I find interesting is how AI has changed the cost of writing code (especially when you have a reference), so the scale between native and cross-platform is going to change that overnight. It's been a long time since I read Hofstader's book "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies" that this is already off the front page after just 4 hours. While I've not watched this video I don't think this is an example of astroturfing. It'd be interesting to do a comparative Study of Sony's practices vs other publishers/platform operators.
