Technologists think they're Martin Luther in the techno-Reformation when really they're Gutenberg, and those are not the same. The printing press had very different impacts on different societies, and everything being cooked up now, from crypto to AI to AVs, will be analogous.

@antoniogm Tangential but Dubai will likely never get AVs - their views on women are too abhorrent They already literally tried to bribe Waymo and Cruise to bring it there with huge piles of cash and were turned down
@antoniogm Interesting distinction and I think there’s some truth to it, but it seems like this technological epoch is different. With LLMs, the equivalent of the printing press both accelerates production and propagates an ideology.
@antoniogm Facebook HQ has (had?) an analog lab with an old-fashioned printing press. The symbolism is great.
