Huang voices a common frustration for systems folks. The mechanistic metaphors we have been using to control processes for decades are being transmogrified into metaphysics. A workaday language game is being converted into a moral one. It is bizarre.
Spawn, create, kill, weight, sleep — all of these words are associated with agents, right? That’s what people use. These words were created when? Multiprocessing systems for operating systems. These are literally the commands of an operating system. You spawn a process, replace the process with an agent. The process forks as a result, parent and child. The agent forks, spawns anew, gives birth.
