<p>They invented self-healing concrete far superior to anything we use today and it took us 2000 years to realize we’re really smart morons. Romans built things to last, we build it to crumble.<p><a href="https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106" rel="nofollow">https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-cas...</a></p>

<p>There’s always the printing press…<p>To be honest, aside from medicine and whatnot, what real benefit is AI bringing?<p>I use it to accelerate my development and it’s great, but as far as this is concerned, how many vibe coded apps do we need as a society? And for the quality of information it’s a junkyard overflowing.<p>I built a strategy agent and ran through a bunch of ideas, positioning them etc. even though the AI has a good sense of that, and for a moment I believed it to have good direction, man I was mislead. I took a step back and realized this thing has NO FKING IDEA. It almost derailed me and what I need to be doing. It was very convincing and took introspection to get back on track.<p>Its creative writing skills are idiotic and it’s emotional intelligence garbage.<p>It’s a bubble everyone and save for medical advancements, the rest is a mirage. Even if companies accelerate some temporary economic advantage, the real tangible value to humanity seems to be few and far between.<p>But it’s cool and everyone is masterfully debating the next big model advancement.</p>
