Another thing that is pretty cool is that human technological progress is now much more robust and defensible.
Imagine a cataclysmic event. Solar flare, meteor, nuclear exchange etc…
All it takes to restart humanity now is a single LLM running locally somewhere.
We’d probably rebuild some things a little wonky due to the hallucination problem but basically humanity could rebuild nearly from scratch.
All you need is a solar-powered computer and an LLM running offline.
You could start asking it questions.
How do we purify water without electricity? How do you grow food in poor soil? What’s the best way to build a shelter from scrap? How do you teach kids math from scratch? How do we deliver a baby without modern equipment?
Over time, that little community could rebuild agriculture, medicine, engineering and even governance guided by dialogue with a machine that holds echoes of all human knowledge.
No more library of Alexandria moments, that’s a crazy shift.
