Agreed. History shows concentration in the hands of a few usually doesn't go well, not because the masses are powerful or smarter than the few but there is a limit you can manage power from the top. AI will be another step in the popularization of information and we'll get both Wikipedia and TikTok of AI in coming years.

nushell + 1. After ~20 years of bash+zsh, I'm translating all my scripts to nu.

Yesterday I noticed I still don't know how to write

  ls | where modified < ((date now) - 3wk) | each { |fn| rm $fn.name } 
in zsh after all years.
