Ironic. The frequency and predictability of this type of response — “This criticism of new technology is invalid because someone was wrong once in the past about unrelated technology” — means there might as well be an LLM posting these replies to every applicable article. It’s boring and no one learns anything.

It would be a lot more interesting to point out the differences and similarities yourself. But then if you wanted an interesting discussion you wouldn’t be posting trite flamebait in the first place, would you?

Note that we still have not solved cameras or even cars.

The biggest lesson I am learning recently is that technologists will bend over backwards to gaslight the public to excuse their own myopia.
