RESTful APIs are history

So it's still a REST API with one single endpoint?

I'll be sure to send random "drop database 'tables'" POST requests to random end points.

Graphql is not a graph representation of a data structure either.

>>108865153
gql is based on a single endpoint
rest uses multiple
ops idea uses a single endpoint
ergo it is gql not rest arch
>>
>>108865190
That's not true anyway. It is common to expose various subgraphs at different endpoints, even though a lot of teams like creating a supergraph on a gateway.
>>
>>108865071
>shittified REST
That's called an RPC API with JSON-RPC 2.0.
>>
>>108865197
have a little bit of a think about how a single gateway entry point abstracting away sub graphs and or other apis if we are talking about other archs is in fact still just a single endpoint exposed to the user.

>>108865190
This is not the defining characteristic of either architecture, no matter how people implement them.

POST /v1/chat/completions is a RESTful do-it-all endpoint where the AI behind it can decide to call various tools and other agents. Exactly what the twitter vermin is suggesting.

For an API to be graphQL, it must adhere to strict rules:
1. You must define your data structure using a schema definition language
2. The client must send a structured query document explicitly requesting exactly which fields it wants back.
3. The server must parse, validate, and execute that specific query against your schema resolvers.

If you are just POSTing a raw text prompt to a single endpoint, you aren't using graphQL's syntax, type system, or execution engine ; ergo: it has nothing to do with graphQL.

Old SOAP/XML-RPC patterns fit closer, and that's why RPC is becoming the standard, but REST still clearly has its place.

Wrong.

and then karpathy will tweet about the revolutionary new idea of asking the agent very nicely to act like it's RESTful
and the nanthropic will create a revolutionary new "REST" mode that optimizes REST operations by generating an internal representation of the problem space as a REST API
meanwhile, you could've just asked claude to write a fucking REST server

Hackers are just going to tell an AI to read their morse code statement, then translate it between 20 languages, then write every word backwards and execute the exact instructions it says to get access to any site retarded enough to go this shit.
Clanker agents are fundamentally flawed, any fucking entrypoint into a system that can just decide for itself how to interpret a request is inherently just flat out WRONG for fuck sake.
But hey it does make me laugh reading about faggots losing $2000000000 dollars to some guy asking the bot to do the macerena 1000 times to get auth keys so go for it.

what gets me about is that it literally flies in the fucking face of computing.
the whole point is to have a machine with repeatable, predictable, perfectly consistent inputs and outputs. all software is predicated on this. you are not supposed to introduce arbitrary fuzziness to REST APIs lmfao, that's what we've been writing code AGAINST since the beginning fucking moron

>the whole point is to have a machine with repeatable, predictable, perfectly consistent inputs and outputs.
the whole point was to have a machine do "something" for you
people want to provide vague inputs and get vague outputs that they can then refine iteratively (if at all). that's how we talk to human assistants. that's how your boss talks to you. thinking is hard. even thinking about what you want is hard. people are fine with not getting exactly what they want becase they don't even care to think too deeply about what they want. and if the machine does the thinking for them, and presents it in a way that makes it look good, all the better. most people won't even realize that the output produced by the machine out of their vague input made a ton of assumptions for them and they'll happily go on thinking they had a brilliant idea and the tool just did the grunt work. "it's just a tool" etc.
