    TikZ, SVG, PNG, notebooks, code. These are all different ways of carrying "the same" idea, but each preserves different features. Today the user shuttles artifacts through representations and tools. MCP solves some of the plumbing, agents can call tools, but it doesn't solve representation-choice: what should be canonical, which conversions are lossy, or where edits can round-trip.

      tbf, node based editors have been "the year of" every year since blender. they all look like a murder board to me! comfyui especially has a terrible ui/ux IMO

        weavy seems kind of smart, for ai-gen video, if you're into that kind of (fucked-up) thing.
