BEAM VM in the age of AI

I know… the concept sounds crazy, but thinks about it.

What if LLM provider if not just another Telco provider that replacing the end user with AI?

Fundamentally, you have a system in which a person send a bunch of text / voices data over the network to reach an end point. In a traditional telco, that other end point would be another human.

Now, if we swap that human endpoint with a LLM instead? Nothing changed!!!

That is the point, it is the exact same system.

You send a piece of communication data, and you wait for a respond from the other side.

Then you send another respond to that responds and the loop continues until you don’t have anymore data to send.

The only difference is that you are always the one who decide to hang up and not the AI.

When you think of the system that way, you start to realise technology that has existed for so long now such as the BEAM in the age of AI and Elixir is being slept on.

It would be exciting to see this idea catch fire, and I wouldn’t be surprised if companies who serve LLM has already implemented the Beam VM to serve their query. After all, it is the only sensible things to do.
