   We haven't seen the first great AI collapse. We haven't seen a foundation model company make the BlackBerry mistake or the Nokia mistake, or the Roman mistake, or the Ottoman mistake or reach their Bunker-in-Berlin mistake. But we will, and we'll see it multiple times, because these mistakes = features of power concentration.

     @Infoseepage @Daojoan but it stood for 165 years, which for the people living on both sides of the bridge, was more than a lifetime. Not inspiring for me as a living person with a limited life span; that scheme is a bit too grand.

     May I see the abolition of AI within my lifetime please.
