  • “Whereas, in the past, the expense and scarcity of manuscripts had ensured that great care was always taken over the preparation of texts, the ease with which books could now be printed — coupled with the intense competition between presses — had led to all manner of rubbish being churned out. These days, Filippo argued, you could hardly open a volume without it being festooned with errors. This clearly did immense damage both to classical scholarship and to education. By putting such defective texts into the hands of the masses, he claimed, even those who could barely speak the vernacular would feel qualified to teach Latin.”










  • Very interesting. Great knowledge, thank you. I guess I’ll have to revert to calling it being like the Amish.

    Linus is talking about the worker using the technology. He likens it to other tools used in his trade. I don’t see him arguing about who should see the profits from the technology.

    I think being dogmatic about strictly not using AI is not empowering the workers who would benefit from utilizing the tool in the correct context.


  • That’s weird, I didn’t see anyone approving of those things in the original posted text and I definitely didn’t imply any of that with my comment.

    Unless I was mistaken this was about Linus saying that using ai is akin to using any other tool.

    Actually with some thought, you’ve convinced me.
