I am also gradually coming round to the view that interaction between humans/client apps and (perhaps multiple) AI agents is a state synchronisation problem that probably needs CRDTs lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/11/22/l...
LLM APIs are a Synchronization Problem
Maybe the LLM message APIs should be rethought as a synchronization problem.
