This take is so far from my experience I have problems relating to it. I dance salsa and bachata. You can not do that without another human and if anything I would do that more in a world that is an AI utopia. Personally, AI have reduced my interest in digital things. I'm naturally gravitating towards physical experiences and things that take effort. I stopped painting on my ipad and began painting with acrylics. I started writing in a physical journal etc.

I beleive you are wrong that "nobody has found a system of computation more powerful than Turing Machines". A turing machine can not perform indeterminacy, however, the actor model can.

I agree, they are the same! regex is an example of an eDSL that most general-purpose languages support. The king of eDSL:s is of course Haskell. I recommend looking up parser combinators for anyone who has ever struggled with an understanding way to complex regex expressions.

Often centralization is chosen specifically because it is easier to monetize. I love FOSS just as much as the next guy but it has it downsides too... Just look at the log4j bug and all the crap those developers get for work they've done on their free time. Sorry, but I get triggered any time anyone says they want software without paying for it.
