Engineer: we still haven't seen a Bret Victor-level demo of LLM-enabled interaction paradigms

Brandon Schauer (bschne) posted a one-line observation that resonated widely: he's "still waiting for a Bret Victor level demo of new interaction paradigms enabled by LLMs."
Bret Victor is famous for landmark demos like "Inventing on Principle" that redefined what programming tools could feel like. The tweet points at a consensus-level gap in the field: LLM applications today are mostly chat boxes and autocomplete, and no one has yet produced a demo that genuinely opens a new interaction paradigm the way Victor's work did.
