One could argue the modern revolution is to not use something like AI, i just worry that there isnt enough people doing this to make it matter. This current AI stock market bubble is based on farts and rainbows, its going to be glorious to see it pop, but the world is going to suffer.

One of my ancestors used to own a coal carrying clipper called the Paragon of Lynn (in the UK). It was one of the fastest ships for its time, but it sunk off the Lincolnshire coast sometime in the 1800s. If I were a rich man I’d love to have it found and excavated. This is a fantastic find by the Spanish. Proper underwater Indiana Jones stuff. Fascinating.
