Researcher: the final megakernel isn't a kernel but a transformer in an endless loop

AI researcher Dimitris Papail argues that the ultimate megakernel is not really a kernel at all, but a transformer running in an endless loop — suggesting that extreme kernel-fusion engineering converges toward a persistent, self-looping computation graph resident on the GPU, blurring the line between systems programming and model architecture.
